I drip 1/2 gallon of
Kalk water every night and I have just a few zoas, mushrooms, and other polyps. I have nothing that has a real calcium uptake.
I did this to help "bind" the
phosphates in my tank and increase
skimmer efficiency. It's worked. My
skimmer is at least twice as efficient, requiring attention every two days rather than once a week. My
cyano battle is quickly coming to an end. My water is MUCH clearer (still can't figure out this correlation) AND my
coralline algae on the
LR has bloomed big time.
In my 75G reef,
kalk dripping was not very efficient. Had I kept that bad boy running, I'd have cut in a calcium reactor to help with all of these issues and the incredible uptake that I had. That system was SPS and clam dominated.
