Kalkwasser Trace Elements

[TheSheff]

I am getting back on the kalkwasser train and am debating what trace element solution to dose. Im hoping to find a solution that is only one part. What do yall use?

I have been using seachem reef and trace. I don't know of anything that is an all in one. Typically there are at least 2 parts that need added.

Are you asking 1. which brand of kalkwasser people are using or 2. what trace elements to adding conjunction?

If 1. Mrs wages pickling lime. I have been using it for 20 years.

If 2. Nothing. I run along a side a calcium reactor and do a small weekly water change.

I use kalkwasser with tropic marin a & k

Don't dose any trace elements! Do a 5% water change twice a month.

I dose Kalk and use Fauna Marin Multi elements A and B as it was made for use with Kalk or Calcium reactor so it does not have ALK or Calcium in it and i use 16ml of each per week for a 215 gal total water volume tank

that may be “adequate”, or not, but it cannot hope to maintain fast depleting trace elements such as iron and manganese at levels found in the salt mix.

Yeah I assume that totally depends on the brand of salt mix too
