Even with kalk, you will still have to supplement calcium and alkalinity.

You can use either Randy's do it your self

or supplement with one of the many calcium chloride products available i.e. Turbo Calcium, Warner Marine, ESV, Reef Complete

and for alkalinity, good old Arm & Hammer baking soda.

Use this handy calculator to determine dosage.

Once you find out your tanks weekly consumption rate, you will be able to maintain these levels listed below
