Product description
KALKWASSER the cheapest way to dose for LPS/SPS tank to increase alkalinity and calcium, it also boost ph which increase coral growth rate (ph is very important in reef tank even for FOT) . kalkwasser also do precipitate phosphate(PO4) and skimed out to the skimmer.
Start by adjusting your Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium levels to where you want to keep them long term.
With a clean top-off reservoir, fill the container with RO/DI water.
Depending on your demand for calcium & alkalinity, you can add up to 1.5 teaspoons of BRS Pharma Kalkwasser to the reservoir.
Low Demand - 1/2 tsp per gallon of fresh water.
Medium Demand - 1 tsp per gallon of fresh water.
High Demand - 1 1/2 tsp per gallon of fresh water.
Mix the kalkwasser powder into the top-off water with the least amount of stirring possible. Once it is fully mixed, do not mix again, over-mixing will cause CO2 to enter the solution making the kalkwasser less potent.
Let the kalkwasser solution sit for 30 minutes before using.
Activate your ATO and monitor the pH of your aquarium as the kalkwasser solution is being dosed, not exceeding increases of 0.20 pH.
Do not over-mix the liquid solution, over-mixing will cause the solution to become less potent.
Monitor your pH very closely when using Kalkwasser. If your pH increases more than 0.20 pH, decrease the dosing incrementally.
It is much safer to dose less and test again, than to overdose.
Keep your ATO reservoir covered to minimize exposure to air.
Add to a high flow area to help minimize local pH spikes and precipitation.
