This is currently what i am doing with my kalk.
1. Have a reservoir with ro/di water
2. Kalk is added to the reservoir
3. The kalk is stirred only 2 times a week. since the reservoir is only being refilled 2 times a week.
Using a maxi jet in the reservior. the water is stirred the after the reservoir is done filling with new water. for about 5 minsafter the water is full. it takes about an hour and 1/2 to fill up resevoir.
4. This will(help) keep the co2 from entering the water . tight lid ,little air is in the water stored. right?
Question..
I don't stir the water that much, just enough to keep the kalk diluted in the water since the sump is only refilled by evaporation?
Am i getting this right?
My reservoir is about 7 gallons. So i am adding about 14 teaspoons for each refilling time in a week or 14 teaspoons for a week, or can i add 32 for 2 weeks and etc..
I just watch for residue in the bottom of the water storage. if thier seems to be a build up then i lessen the teaspoons.
or, do i need to change something?
Do i need to clean out the bottom of the water reservoir once in a while or will just disolve over time?
I am not going with a Kalk reactor since the research indicate little conductivity change..
I test for the ph , calc, mag, and Alk. Every thing seems to be working..
