I think GT Jacket is talking about the same stuff I use that is from BRS I bought from Rhett for like 8/bag per part.

Recipe 2 isnt what i need being my ph never raises over 8.4 that i have seen lol
jay i'll give ya a pm....i think i would need the 1st

If you can find mrs wages pickling lime you can do a combo I would go slow with that though when you are using kalk the ph is so high that you have to watch it closely mixing with vinegar helps to dissolve it you can find write ups for that all over RC. you can mix part 1 and part 2 but I would mix with water first.

 

[nightfire]

well that was a question i was gonna ask cause i already have pickling lime but i read that it only helps keep the levels ya already have and i was going to get more into that when my stands done and i have made my ato

The two part I bought in September made a quart of each and I still have half left.

Jennifier - your consumption sounds on the low side. An SPS tank will drink much more than that.

Correct on the pickling lime - should not be used to raise levels only maintain. Drip in very slow and watch your PH.

 

[Jennifier615]

I don't have much sps, so that is to be expected.

 

[nightfire]

but lps uses it up as well does it not?

 

[Mr Coffee]

In some tanks you can use kalcwasser to maintain esp if you have no SPS/LPS but if you do want to keep these then you will need to supplement. If you have recipe 1 which will slightly lower but you will need more. if you have ph issues to begin with you can dose kalcwasswer and recipe 1 together and you will get either a raising of the PH or only slightly using both. there is a formula for that some where. the point is if you need to bring up ca you can use type 1 and then also use kalk and you will offset the one with the other but it is no where near 1 to 1 you would use only a small amount of pickling lime withe the type1 to balance this type 1 out. I hope that makes some since.

 

[nightfire]

that makes sense to me though i wont be able to find out till i start using them....when i do i will be making posts im sure lol

FYI - Recipe 1 is 2x stronger than recipe 2 for both CA and ALK...
