Hi Anthony.
I'm just starting to use your slurry method. My tank will use about 50 mg of CA during a 3 day period. I'm up to about 1/4 teaspoon, and the PH changes very little. How hight can i go before i start to worry about CA problems. Is the PH increase of .2 the key number?

thanks

Norm

There is a nice reef chemistry calculator here, but I'm not sure if it applies to slurryhttp://www.kademani.com/reefchem.htm

yes, indeed... now that you know what your daily demand is for calcium, you simply need to calculate how much (ppm) is delivered with each measure of a given product (calcium hydroxide in this case).

You are on your way, my friend.
