Did u know that adding Kalk to your reef actually removes phosphates from the water during evap.. and saves you money on electricity, and buying the phos remover gunk or pellets. FYI

Its pickling lime AKA Kalkwasser. Cost $3. You dose it into your tank and when the water evaps it removes the phosphates along with it. Kalk also works in conjunction with Calcium to help your corals spread and grow. It gets your rocks purple,,

Do you have to have a dosing mechanism...or can you just add it directly to the tank?
If so, how much per gallon do you add?

It comes in powder form right? If so, how many gallons can the $3 make?

I heard that dosing lots of Kalk at once can be deadly. Your best bet would be a auto top off. If you can't afford one, you can make a DIY one.
