    do you use kalkwasser and if so why do you.

    what brand do you use and is it beneficial?

    if not why don't you use it?

    I don't because my Ca level stays great with good ole Kent's Ca in a bottle. I have Coraline algae everywhere and my calcareous corals are great.

    I use kent right now, but I do have a giant bottle of seachem just waiting to be opened.

    I'm not sure if it helps. I only test Ca once a week, it's always 420. I'm assuming it's helping. I also dose Purple Up daily.

    Mostly I use kalk to does other things, like all the other kent products that can be used with kalk.

    I don't use Kalk. I run a PM CA Reactor. Never had a problem maintaining Alk or PH so I haven't bothered to use it
