Kalk-reactor dose help!

[dannynguyen3573]

Hi Randy,
Base on low PH, I would like to dose 1tps per gallon through Kalk-reactor, the evaporation is about 5gallons/ day so how much Kalkwasser Mix (Kent Marine product) do I need to put in kalk-reactor to last a month ?
PH right noe is 7.8 - 8.0
Thanks

Well, 1 teaspoon x 5 gallons per day x 31 days = 155 teaspoons. Whether you can get exactly1 tsp per gallon will be detemrined by how often it is stirred, and how much you can add at once is determined by its size and stirring capability.

Thanks Randy. I have one more question, I dose 4 cups /week each part of Randy's recipe #1 for 180G mix reef tank, is that to much?
Calcium aroud 450ppm-470ppm
PH 7.85 - 8

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

That is a fine amount to dose.

What is the alkalinity?

OK, then I'd keep dosing that amount.
