when hooking up a kalkreactor should i start dosing slowly or just use it to top off my tank as well as adding kalk? i lose about 2 galklons a day due to evaporation. i imagine i will lose less hence i turned the temp down a couple degrees. so any info on this would be greatly appreciated

I replace 100% of evaporated water with Kalk using a reactor and I believe that this is the common method.

Same here, I try to mix up enough in the reactor to last me a week or so.
