Calcium Hydroxide

[hansonfam]

I have ran out of 2 part calcium and my LFS carries Calcium Hydroxide, so my question is can i mix up some of the calcium hydroxide and dose from my dosing pump along with my alkalinity of baking soda, or does if have to be used with a kalkwasser?

Thanks

Calcium hydroxide(klkwasser,limewater) contains balanced alkalinity and calcium. . It's two parts in one, No need to dose alkalinity separately.

Calcium hydroxide is kalkwasser.

Just dose it by itself as kalkwasser until you get more 2 part. But the kalk might not keep up with your calcium/alk demand in your tank.

You cannot combine it into either part of a two part.
