what cal, mag supplements do you use?

need to order cal and mag supplements for my 72 gallon, i have a ATO tank so i can use kalk if you guys and gals think its a good idea, and what name brand do you all use please.... thanks guys!!!!

 

Please search through the water chemistry threads. This topic has literally been beat to death. You'll find just about everyone's opionins and brands listed in there. There might even be some polls!

 

Maybe I should have said "figuratively" beaten to death.

 

I use a calcium reactor but on tanks that I didn't run a reactor on, I used Kent's Turbo Calcium and Turbo Buffer. I use epsom salts for magnesium.

 

does anyone use kalk,i did on my old 125 years ago and it seemed to work great,,,

 

We use a kalk reactor as well but we keep mainly sps corals so our calcium reactor has a hard time keeping up at times.

 

I use B-ionic two part along with Kalk as my top off water every day. I end up having to use my two part about once per week to maintain 460 cal and 8-9 dkh using equal parts 2 fl ounces each of A and B. Hope this helps.

 

sweet thanks guys

 

I use DIY 2 part consisting of BAKED baking soda, CaCL2(DOWflake) and a MgCL2 and MgSO4 Mag supplement which is MAGflake and Epsom salt.

I also top off with a DIY kalk dripper using Mrs Wages Pickling lime...Ca(OH)2

I like to go the DIY way!!
Even working at a LFS commercial stuff would get expensive to me!

Happy reefing and archive searching!

 

thanks Dr. i am going diy drip kalk myself and i am giong to try the kent mag and iron in one for now and see how they do?
