best kalk mix?

[Pensky]

what do yo think about Kent Marine Kalkwasser Mix?

 

[Amphiprion]

I prefer chemical grade varieties, as well as ESV. But Kent Marine works well too (mainly just a bit more precipitate). I get Kent kalk for free, so I can't complain .

i use kent, and never had a problem, and have great growth with all my hard corals

I used to use Mrs Wages. But since they raised the price I switched, ESV is around the same price and much much better stuff. It clears up much quicker.

I use ESV. I always have little to no residue left over, and like trmiv said, it clears quickly.

I have used the Kent Kalk for a while now and it has been working great.

 

[Alaskan Reefer]

I've used Kent and it works great, although I'm thinking of switching to Mrs. Wages or ESV when this tub runs out...

 

[cwklinge]

I just switched to ESV. I found it is much cheaper then Kent but I didn't have any problems with it.

 

[LivingTropicals]

ESV all the time here. The pure white powder clears pretty quickly and without much residue left over. I tried Mrs Wages once and there's no comparison to it. I think it's pure enough so it can be used in low levels according to municple water specifications.

what is ESV?

I stocked up with Mrs. Wages, so I have a ways to go before I need to get more. When that happens, pickling season will probably be among us, and the price will go down again.
