More on Calcium acetate

Randy:

After a lot of reading (thanks for it all), I´ve decided to use calcium acetate to keep my alk and calcium levels. I´ve also determined the daily need for my tank (around 6 g. of calcium acetate dihidratated), and now I would like to automate it. I´ve considered disolving it in water and using a dosing pump to do the task. My question is about the acetate solution: is there any limit I must consider (solubility, degradation of the solution, etc)?. My idea is that, although I check levels weekly, from time to time I will leave the system unattended up to four weeks, so it should last at least 23- 25 days.

Thanks for your help.
