I am trying to add a kalkwasser doser to my aquarium...In my readings I am led to believe that PH may offset because of the amount of calcium being released into the water.
I have allot of brain corals and soft corals, polyps and mushrooms.....I thought that since I cannot afford a calcium reactor currently I would try this approach.
Here's my question, I want to purchase a PH tester from milwaukee instruments for 49.00, it states that I have to purchase caliberation fluid. I have no idea as to which one to choose from....4.01, 7.01 or 10.01....since I need to be in the range of 8.1 - 8.4 ph should I assume 10.01?
Also, the kent marine doser I am going to try.....should I direct the line into the aquarium or the sump? I am a little uneasy about hanging doser from the wall....any other ideas...ie coat stand?? My skimmer is in the sump and I think the kalkwasser would get skimmed?
