I want to start dosing kalk

[jimsta]

I have just set up my ten gallon nano and was wondering how to go about doing this. I know to replace my topoff water with it and I already have a dripper. But when it comes to alkalinity I don't know what to do. To those of you dripping kalkwasser out there, how are you maintaining your alkalinity?


ps. I plan on adding some vinegar to my kalkwasser to help it mix if that makes a difference in alkalinity.

I use a thing called aragaMilk instead of Kalkwasser. It seems to boost all the things that we need. Some of them I know off hand like Calcium, Strontium, Magnesium.

I wouldn't use the aragaMilk. All the items it puts in you need to test for. And I believe Ron on here has negative things about it. Kalk will maintain your alk along with you calcium. But if you need to raise it first to have both balanced, you can use baking soda, just do it slowly.
