The heater is an easy one, for control type, just choose "Heater." Set fallback to Off so that is doesn't cook your tank in the event of a communication failure and probe name should be "Temp." On temperature should be 75 and set the Off temperature to 76.

For the kalk reactor, are you using float switches through a breakout box, or an independent ATO solenoid?

If it's a stand alone ATO system merely plugged into an EB8 outlet, then you should use advanced programming and it should look something like this:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If PH < 8.5 Then ON
 
Fallback ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If Temp > 76.0 Then OFF

need info on kalk and ato

is ato switch on a breakout box
kalk do you want it to stir for certain time..for example every hour stir for 2 min

Need more information about your Kalk and ATO setup.

Are they separate pumps or are they "Combined", as in your kalk is your ATO water?

If your running them separately, then you also need to make sure that, in the case of them both running at the same time, they do not add to the system beyond your max water level. This is where a dual float switch comes into play. One for low level and one for high level, shutting the pumps off.
