I use a Geo kalk reactor that doses using a peristaltic pump. The pump is hooked up to my Apex. When the pH drops below my bottom range, the pump turns on until the top of the range. I've been doing this for years without issues.

What range do you set it for, and what alkalinity does that end up maintaining? Or do you otherwise supplement alkalinity?

My 90 barely evaporates 1/2g a day, so I have a 5g water jug with kalk mixed in and set it on a Litermeter III dosing 1/2g a day. The litermeter doses this 1/2g a day over a 24 hour period, something like 150 small doses that all equal 1/2g by the end of the 24 hour period. I'm going to use this same setup on my 300g. If my tank evaps a little more than 1/2g, my ATO maintains it from there. Works great!

If a doser is dosing a 2 part, this would eliminate dosing with Kalk if desired levels are reached;or should you use a combination of 2 part & kalk to reach that level?
If this is a stupid question, I apologize. Thanks |
