How fast do I DRIP Kalkwasser?

[sltwtrfan]

I know it says to drip Kalkwasser SLOWLY... but how slow is slow????
What drip to second ratio does everyone use?
Kent Marine aquadose says that 200 ml will dose per day if you dose at one drip per 43 seconds...
I need help!

:help:

id say slow is like 1-2 drips a second.

that doesn't seem SLOW ENOUGH. I have it at like 1 drop every 30 seconds.

I run kallwisser in my tank and I can tell you it depends on you corals. I had low calcium in my tank and dosed what they said and it blow my ppm out of the water. I suggest use it in your top off water and use there formula but start at the low end and see what you tanks needs to keep it in the 400-500 range!

yeah but you might have a problem with that when start using a heavier dose of kalk.. i say 1 drop per second is good. 2 drops per second on fresh ro/di top-off.

I run it into my fresh water top-off. It will be hard to control your drips per second over a long time without using some kind of leveling system. Top off water alows for easy testing and control over a long period of time unless you spend the money for a reactor.
