Is there a formula for dosing kalk

[Kzguns]

Is there a way to figure a starting dose for kalk? Something like if you use x amount of calcium per day etc. I’m gonna strat dosing using a doser at some point and am not sure what a starting ml would be

The Bulk Reef Supply website has dosage calculators that are easy to use.

Base dosing ONLY on the alkalinity daily demand, not on calcium or any corrective dose for alkalinity. It can boost alk way too high if you use it for a measured calcium rise that is more than the daily demand.

Like Randy said, base it on the alk demand. Check your alk once every 24hrs for a couple days to find your demand.

This calculator will then help you mix the limewater.
