kalkwater is lime water...made from kalkwasser...calcium carbonate....helps maintain calcium...really only bad thing is it can raise the ph but if you keep an eye out for the raise in ph you can control it...but it is good

by the way, you should always top off with pure water. NO SALT AT ALL.

its only benificial if you need a high calcium level to be honest alot of people with a ton of coraline or SPS corals really use it up quicker than it can be replaced. If you start to add KALK water always keep an eye on your calcium levels they can sky rocket if your not careful.
