I was reading the directions for Kent Kalk and it says that you should only make enough to last 7 days. I am going to start using Kalk to top off my tank similiar to what you described, I have a 32 gallon brute. So it is ok to make more than 7 days worth?

I fill the 44g full, dump in 3 cups of kalk stir for a few minutes into a nice whirlpool cover it and leave it., what does not dissolve settles to the bottom.

The mix remains undisturbed till it is gone which is about 3 - 4 weeks depending on the weather and the amount of evap.
