Kalkwasser mixing?

IF you want anecdotal experience facts then I will give you one. But like all the guys said here, read on what kalk really does and how to use it.

What I do is mix a weeks worth of kalk in a 32 gallons brute garbage can and seal it well (some people would disagree with this setup). At this point I mix 2 tsp/gallon of kalk and add around 24 mls or vinegar/gallon. My sytem does not need anymore at this time. But start 1/2-1 tsp per gallon on how much you need. Really whatch your alk levels. Test them the same time of the day. I use a ATO system through my Apex Monitor with double switches. I also drilled a tiny hole on the top of the return line in the brute can so the solution wont syphon into my sump. Hope some of this info helps.

I mix it with my top off water... the amount I need per gallon... I add that top off water to my ato sump... works good for me... Just a note... it is best to know how much cal and alk your tank utilizes weekly... I actually only dose 1tsp per 5 gal top off and it keeps my tank nice and balanced... obviously for a tank that uses much more cal and alk...a larger dose is required up to 2tsp per gallon.
