Yeah I do.. Only cause I had some issues with aquavitro salinity. First batch I mixed almost crashed my tank. Read up on it and a bunch of people said it settles real bad. Since then I mixed it up real well... I'm thinking of switching to regular IO and just bring perimeters up to where I want them.

Calcium 400, alk 9, and mag 1300. Just got my brs dosing stuff so now I just need a couple jugs to mix up stuff in. Mixed up a small amount of kalkwasser in my ato as my ph is low and wouldn't mind my calcium being a little higher but only a tablespoon to 4gal to see where it will take me over the next couple days. Ph was 7.8 which isn't a huge concern to me yet.
Anyone with kalkwasser experience?

Kalk is much better for maintaining Alk and Cal. It is not as good for bringing the levels to where you want them.
Your levels all fall in range. Did you buy Calcium supplement from BRS? Take a look at the calculator if you want to bring your Ca up. It will probably only need a shot of about 50-100ml to bring it up 20 or so points.

Skins and floating canopy are done!!! Pretty stoked on that.. Now I just need to spray some paint on them and add the magnets..
Today the calcium was still about 400-420, alk about 9dkh, and I added 50ml of the brs mag when the calculator said to add 116ml to bump it from 1300-1400, and it jumped to about 1420, so I'm glad that I cut it in half. So far with the kalk only running a day in a half in my ato it seems as if Ill be fine with just the kalk and my low calcium consumption.

yeah I kind of did that with the 50ml. Dosed the 50ml over a period of about 6hrs. I had planned to test after 1/2 the recommended dose, which now I'm glad I did. Ill also be lessening the overall tank water volume next time I use the claculator so hopefully it will be a little more accurate.

Well the only thing that's showing growth is my car frag lol.
You need to post that in the growth thread. Great job! Mine got flipped over from the frag rack. Luckily it opened back up but took a half a day. LOL very nice growth!
