Why doesn't everybody use kalk?

I drip kalkwasser 24x7 at a rate of about 2 drops per second. I also use a top off system for fresh RO/DI AND dose RHF 2 part daily. Got more than a few SPS colonies and a couple of clams to keep up with. :D
 
AS IT WILL GROW YOU WILL INCREASE YOUR DOSE; IT WILL HAPPEN A DAY WHEN YOU WILL REMEMBER IT IS EASY TO USE ACETATE. JUST KEEP IN MIND!
I THINK ALSO: NEVER CHANGE WHAT WORKS BUT CHANGE FAST WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE!
 
I used to use Kalk exclusively, but I dont use Kalk anymore as I have a tank that has a very high demand for calcium and alakalinity that can not be maintained through topping off with Kalk alone.

Others have mentioned that I might want to top off with kalk, and then boost Calcium/Alk with two part. But that seems like twice the trouble. I would need to make Kalk and dose two part. Furthermore, I would neve no exactly how much two part to use as I wouldn't know exactly how much Kalk had been added on a daily basis though the Autotopoff without testing everyday. I am able to maintain specific Calcium/Alk ratios with two part, and I adjust the amount of two part that I use monthly.
