Dosing Kalkwasser

[ebojo]

My 75g just finished cycling and I will soon be populating it. Is Kalkwasser the way to go for dosing, or is there another method that is better?

it is one of several fine ways to dose calcium and alkalinity. It is the one I use.

I compare methods here:

and this may help:

if you are just starting regular water changes will be just as good as anything else. Once you find that you have a demand by testing then shifting to kalk is a fine plan.
