For part 2 of this episode, we drove to Miami, Florida to visit Julian Sprung of Two Little Fishies. In his office, he sat down with us and we talked anything and everything about calcium hydroxide or better known as kalkwasser and how to apply this old but proven method into our existing systems and his tips from his own experiments.
Enjoy!

It's always great to hear Julian talking about different subjects. I wish there were many more videos like this. There are so many untruthful information nowadays! Lot's of confusion and misleading. Thanks for taking the time making and editing the material! Thanks Julian!

Timed additions of Kalk, that's how I've been doing it all this time. My ATO is basically a timed Kalk doser. The best way by far.

Have to find the pump that can provide agitation and enough flow for the head pressure. Contact since for recommendations. I'm sure that they can assist you better in this.

Can I remove a cup of tankwater, mix in kalk and pour back into tank. Or does it need to be RO. I would like to dose more often but I do not have enough evaporation
@Reefscom
@Reefscom 7 жыл бұрын
Dave Lembo you can use tank water but you have to watch how much you dose as you can easily spike your alkalinity to dangerous levels if you don't monitor it.

Say u wanted to use in ur auto top off, 5 gallon container, what's a good amount to add in there that will totally dissolve with out having that slurry at the bottom?? Thx

you will always have slurry in the bottom as kalkwasser is not totally water soluble.

I put 8 tbsp of Kalk into 4 gallons RODI and just run it in my ATO over about a week. My calcium stays at 440 consistently, and Dkh at 10.1...but my magnesium drops daily. I presume it is either precipitating out of the tank or the coral/coralline algae is drinking it up....How do I keep Mg stable other than just frequent testing/dosing?
@Reefscom
@Reefscom 4 жыл бұрын
You can also put mag into the kalk as well. Once the ionic balance is met and coraline consumption has died down a bit, you should see a good balance where you shouldnt see much of crazy mag consumption. How old is your aquarium?

reefs the tank is 7 years old - very mature live rock. It was a phenomenal mixed reef that crashed about 2 years ago...I got bummed and quit maintaining it, but finally got the desire to get it restarted.

so..with a 25 gallon reef...I can add 1/8 of a teaspoon per hour max but my evap is not that high so...basically I will be adding ALOT LESS then 1/8 teaspoon per hour...so I am confused as hell now sorry Julian dont mind me... lololol....How often would you dose it to a 25 gallon reef and how much would you put per ....if my evap is 1/2 a gallon a day would you only put the 1/8 teaspoon in? or would you put 24 x 1/8 teaspoon...cannot possibly be....Tim

Julian, if I does 3/4 of a teaspoon once per eachhour and continue doing that...will my PH not go thru the roof? There is a limit ...right? So not only do we have to measure 1/r4 tea per 50 gallons but we need to know that amount of times we have to actually turn the doser on...I just dont quite understand. I understand 1/4 per 50 gallons per hour...but...thats not the full equation..right??

I'm planning to use It but i don't make waterchages, do you think that kalkwasser with for example Two Little fishies Sea elements Is a good idea with sporadic supplementation of magnesium?
@Reefscom
@Reefscom 4 жыл бұрын
If you are trying to supplement magnesium, magnesium pronto is better way to go. Do watch out on the pH spike when using kalkwasser. How big is your tank and how much consumption are you experiencing?

Does kalkwasser expire?
@Reefscom

Powder form, not for a long long long time. When mixed, if exposed to oxygen, eventually lose their potency. I guess that's similar to being expired? 😆

Why is talking in these nonsense measurements like 3/4 teaspoon? If you want to do this properly you need to use decent measurement scales e.g. grams and Litres.
