Dosing Calcium and Alk for SPS - What is your method?

[Punchanello]

I'm interested in seeing what is most popular amongst SPS keepers and hopefully some tank shots!

In the past i always used 2 part and didn't like the fact that after the Calcium and Carbonates were used you had a ton of left over Sodium Chloride increasing your specific gravity. I'm now trying out Tropic Marin CarboCalcium.

Most likely balling method for the new tank.

2 part via doser... easy peasy. I'd love to have a calcium reactor, but 2 part keeps me steady and it's more budget friendly at the moment.

Nice! How long?

 

[Jeff Jarry reef]

About 3 months and I can tell a difference. How about you?

About 3 months . You?

Both Cal reactor and a kalkwasser stirrer, the pH raising effect of the lime water offsets the pH impact of effluent (no room for a 2nd chamber).

Kalkwasser via a brs doser

 

[X-37B]

Esv 2 part and 1/4 scoop of kalk per 5 gallons water in ato.
Kalk is just used to keep ph stable at 7.9-8.1.
When demand kicks in I have a tunze 3171 reactor ready to go.
I will still use kalk in the ato to offset the reactor when its running.

Kalk via top off reservoir. As my colonies grow, I may need to get a CalRX. Probably next summer when evaporation slows down from the increased humidity.

Kalkwasser via ato + ESV

This is exactly what I am using in my 29g.
