Dosing Kalk - I swear I can't find it...

[SteveySingle]

Hey guys,
I've searched the forum and can't find how much and how often to dose Kalk.
I have 50ml going every 12 hours BUT im wondering if adding this much at once is causing it to precipitate?

I wasn't testing a few weeks back before switching to Red Sea Reef salt, but since switching I've noticed some decreased PE and cyano outbreak, so I started testing ph, kh, and calcium (i need to start mag) - doesn't really matter I guess...but thought I'd throw it out there. I got a free box of Fritz high Alk and im thinking of starting to use that instead...if anyone has suggestions on that piece, lmk.

Precipitate faster than it should**

How OFTEN do you dose?

You want to spread out the rise as much as possible.

But, 50 mL every 12 h is uselessly small.

Typically, people dose close to the evaporation limit, like 1% of the tank volume daily.

Use the calculator at the top of this forum to see how much delivers hue much alk to your system.
