Doseing lime

[ninjamini]

Is it good to dose lime when my calcium is at a good level?

That is the best time. Kalkwasser is best at maintaining, not so good at elevating.
Lime 101

 

[ninjamini]

So how do I do it? 90 gallon tank. How much Kalkwasser do I use and how do I add it?

Read the link I just added. Covers it more than anything I could ever add.

Sorry but lime in a beer is just wrong. Diet Coke needs lime because it takes like dookie. A beer should not need a lime.

You have to add lime to Corona to kill the taste.

as a new drinker I can say that all beer tastes like heavily urinated pool water or a freshly unflushed toilet with windex. I drink whiskey sours!
Ive been using kalkwasser but Im seriously considering switching to the liquid calcium stuff. I only need calcium for coraline algae and some for the corals. I have mostly mushrooms, zoos, xenia and a toadstool. whats a good level to keep my calcium?

As close to 420 ppm as possible.
:joy:

Keep in mind that Limewater adds Calcium AND Carbonate.
If you switch to a Calcium only additive then you will have to also dose a Carbonate additive to maintain Alkalinity.
