Same doser for kalk and alk?

[ddevlin]

Given the drip rate is the same, can I use the same doser to drip my Kalkwasser and Randy's Alk mixture?

You mean at different times? My alk mixture does not necessarily need to be dripped, but doing so is fine.

I mean both mixtures in the same container. It's easier to keep the alk right if I dose it. Also I used to have a problem with high calcium above 600 (another thread you helped me with) well after your advise and guidance my calcium is down now. So now I need to add the Kalkwasser. BTW doesn't Kalkwasser maintain Alk? If so do I need to dose part 2 anymore if I am dosing Kalk?

Same container, but different times? You cannot mix alkalinity supplements and limewater/kalkwasser.

If you can and do add enough, yes. It is all that I use, but high demand tanks (loads of SPS), or those with low evaporation often cannot add enough.
