Calcium supp ?

BLKTANG · 02/02/2008, 06:38 PM

Ive been dosing ESV for calcium supplement,in my reef's for over 3 years,& just recently got back into the hobby,after not having a tank for about 6 months.

I was wondering what everyone was using?

Do you dose?,or use a reactor??I only have a 75g,so i wanted to just dose.

Thankx 07 SL55.

I use the 2 part and dose myself. After you get the water where you want it it does not take much to keep it there...so dosing is no big deal.

I used to use ESV, I liked it a lot. Now I have a reactor.

Try the Warner Marine Calxmax 2 part.

I use limewater, but experienced folks are about evenly split these days between 2 part supplements, limewater (kalkwasser) and CaCO3/CO2 reactors (or any combinations of them). Independent calcium and alkalinity additions and a few other methods make up a smaller portion.
