Kalkwasser - Calcium Hydroxide- Ca(OH)2
Using Kalkwasser is an easy and inexpensive way to maintain Calcium, Alkalinity and pH in your reef system from one solution. It also has the added benefit of causing phosphate to fall out of solution, making it biologically unavailable for algae.
Directions: Mix 1-1 ½ tsp per gallon of RODI water you would use as top off water. This is now your dosing solution. Calculate your evaporation rate and dose this amount either throughout a 24/hr period or 1 hour before the lights turn off. After the cloudy mixture settles dose the clear solution 1 inch from the bottom of your dosing container by using a dosing pump or gravity fed at one drop per second in a high flow area. Kalkwasser should be a slow addition to the reef aquarium. Always monitor pH and other water parameters.
