Just asking fellow reefers which one would you recommend for a guy that never dripped kalk.

Also, if you have any suggestions on how to start/fireoff a new reactor they would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Wojo.

thats the stuff. Not sure on the reactor, I evaporate about 5 gal every 6-7 days. I add 1 teaspoon per gal, so 5 teaspoons. That is the standard starting point, and my tank is new. It has been keeping my PH right around 8.3 which is what I wanted.
