alls you need to do is put it in a bottle and have it drip into your tank or sump, its cheap easy and effective.
Just straight Kalk? So if I were to but the stuff from the grocery store...that's what you use?

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?
YOU DOSE. 1 Teaspoon per gallon of fresh water. You drip dose into your sump with a dripper (DIY) or a kent doser.

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.
anything overdosed can kill. you drip dose it into your sump. Phos reactors are a waste of money and a huge (SCAM). Save your money bro, use it for corals or fish. just trying to help and I am not bashing your purchase.

Acanthurus nigricauda Sweet tang!
Have you read the wetweb on him? Very interesting fish.
The Brown-Eared Surgeonfish (note the stripe behind the eye); the most carnivorous Surgeon. Found in close association with barracudas, even sharks in the Red Sea. Feeds on meat scraps and small demersal animals. Grows to a length of twenty inches. One off of Gili Air, Lombok, Indonesia, another in N. Sulawesi, and last in the Maldives.

Yup, that's the one! But I was just reading that they get 15 inches in the wild not 20. Also, fish never really reach full size in aquariums, so, its going to be a bit smaller than 15 inches. =)

I wonder if the fact that it eats small animals means it may eat your firefish...they don't get big.....what else do you have that's smaller?

They don't eat small live fish. ;) I have a few things that are small like the fire fish and the yellow coris wrasse and I'm going to be getting some blennys and gobies that are small as well.
