ok, i decided to use the drip method (1gallon milk jug, hose extender) to add kalkwasser. i just wanted to make sure how to do this. I get a gallon of RO water and I mix the kalkwasser. I wait till white things settle down and re-cyphon out the liquid part to another container. Than I drip the...

calcium is at 360 or so. warmer temperature makes coraline algae die off?

I just tested mine and it came out to be around 360. Is that good enough for plenty of coraline algae growth or should I boost it up to 450 ? what level do you guys keep your calcium level at?

whats the difference between kalkwasser and liquid calcium? aren't they the same thing?

my head is hurting so much from the moment i started reading about calcium. what is alkalinty and what reading does it have to be ? Would I need to add something to the tank like kalkwasser?

I really can't understand what that means. how much gallon would I need to add in?

to be honest, I don't think you have to wait that long. I changed from crushed corals to livesand and I waited for .. 2 days exactly. Everything was fine. Ammonia was at 0, nitrite was at 0.

ok. let me just write this to make sure I understand it correctly. I will just take out about 10 percent of water from the tank and replace them every two weeks. how often do i need to replace the top offs due to evaporation?

so would I need to take out water manually (with bucket or cyphoning) or should I just add more water since there is water already being lost due to evaporation?

ah I'm really glad to hear that! Thanks for making me feel less paranoid :D

no. but do i still need to do partial water changes including cyphoning ?

does anyone have a 75 gallon tank and can tell me how much i hsould add? the drip rate?

When I had crushed corals, I did 2 week interval water changes with cyphoning things out by pressing into the cc. now i have live sand, do i still need to do 2-week interval water changes and cyphon the livesand?

i have never checked calcium/alkalinity since the beginning of my saltwater aquarium keeping. i use tapwater filtered for a week to replace my topoff.

coraline algae on my live rock is slowly disappearing after few days i purchase it and it is being covered by these brown dust-like particles. would adding calcium to my water help the live rock come alive again?

i don't think i have any. would adding calcium to my water dramatically increaase the amount of copepods in my water?

i hope i get the same luck as you do ;)
