    kalk or 2 part?

    Sure, your welcome :) I'm not really a big fan of dosing kalk quickly, so if it isn't possible to switch to an aqualift pump, or peristaltic pump,...

    kalk or 2 part?

    Every system is different, these threads would be pretty dull if all our systems were the same. In the end, whatever you feel most comfortable with...

    kalk or 2 part?

    Great points pink4miss on the stability. Mag can't disolve in kalk though, so the kalk+2 is unlikely to help mg. I''m not a chemist, but here are...

    kalk or 2 part?

    Great point. On the flip side though, if the ATO gets stuck on, you will be adding the ATO water, plus the kalk water. If the ATO is stuck off, it...

    kalk or 2 part?

    I disagree a bit on terminology, but I'm sure it's semantic. A kalk drip is always on an ATO, it's just either a primitive ATO or a sophisticated...

    kalk or 2 part?

    Thanks Steve. That sounds about right, however, at the moment, I am taking it easy and going slow on the vodka dosing. This is because I have a lot...

    kalk or 2 part?

    Definitely, worth mentioning... The salt and water changes can make up quite a bit of ca and alk. There are a lot of variable, I'm just poiting out...

    kalk or 2 part?

    BTW, I mentioned noticable precipitation occurring around pH 8.6, but mentioned my set point was 8.2. The reason for the difference is because I...

    kalk or 2 part?

    I've been thinking of adding vinager to boost the saturation, but I'm already dosing vodka... So, I'm not sure how much organic carbon I want to...

    kalk or 2 part?

    I am dosing through a drip system, through my ATO. I have an aqualift pump hooked up to my ATO and a restriction valve to reduce the flow to a drip....

    Aqueon junk

    After having a number of stealth heaters crap out, I have switched to Finnex HMO heaters and so far, so good. I do have them plugged into a separate...

    kalk or 2 part?

    I think 2-part is generally safer, but kalk is cheaper and easier when incorporated into an ATO. I have never found kalk to be sufficient to keep...

    trace elements are important and should be maintained. However, adding them blindly can cause issues as most are toxic in high quantities and...

    Aqua Connect bulbs

    They are supposedly the Pheonix 14K bulbs. They are usually more expensive though. I think this is because Pheonix is really a grey market bulb...

    I always liked Adele. Very classic sounding, not the typical manufactured stuff you hear everywhere these days.

    Cool, the leds are a good way to go, I think the DIY kits make more sense, both for price and flexibility. You'll have to let us know how it works...
