kalkwasser well raise ph and maintain calcium. kalk has to be dripped in slowly, because it has a ph of about 12, usually after the lights have been turned off. kalk replaces water lost to evap.
being that kalk can only be dosed as much as your tank is evaporating or without raising ph to high, use seachem's reef advantage calcium to get calcium levels up.
