I use a dosing pump and mix kalkwasser/limewater and use this as my top-off water a few times a week

Most would do this (see above repl).

But check your alks and calcium levels to see if you need to add anything.

Thats one good way to dose.Kalk will help take care of the alk as well as ca. You can use the two part that randy recommends right here on RC

I thought that you had to drip Kalk so it does not spike your PH?

im new to reef keeping and have never heard about limewater. how would i go about mixing that?

so far with what ive kept i havent had to dose in my 90 my calcium is around 450 .
i just do a 5% water change weekly . that to me is the best if you are going lite with corals. sometimes i do a 10 % weekly.
however you can set it up to do a water change easily ....its worth it. i invested about 30 dollars with a ten gallon tank and a power head .. waterchange 15 minutes tops
