Spar · 05/18/2017, 08:12 AM

I am currently doing 2-part dosing for Alk and Calc. I have had this tuned in just fine for a long time, no issues with it. To help battle Dino I need to increase my pH, which I have been told Kalk will help with?

Do you think that my pH will really have much of a change when switching out some 2-part with Kalk? i.e. worth the extra effort?

If I do start using Kalk as well, any idea how much of my 2-part dosage the Kalk will offset? I know each tank will differ, but as a general guideline what is it (30%, 70%, etc...) so I can dial back my 2-part to not over or under dose much.
