So yes I know everyone is telling me to use kalk but until I figure out all the logistics of doing that I have this question.
I'm using IO salt and ro/di water. We usually change out 15g every other week. Have found out that my fresh IO salt water only gives me 300-350 Ca level. I usually make the water, add salt & then let it sit with a heater and power head to circulate for 2 days in a rubbermaid bucket before doing the wc.
I've finally gotten the tank to a Ca level of 400-450 by slowly adding Kent liquid Calcium. And then two part to maintain. I'm thinking though that as soon as I do the wc the Ca level will plummet. Is that just par for course? Or should i possiblly treat the wc water to head this off?
Thanks for your input and my apologies if I'm missing something here.
