I topoff from a 44G Brute container of fully saturated Kalk. I use a Reef Fanatic dual float level controller and Aqualifter for topoff pump. Been using this for ~ 6 years.

I have the pretty much the exact setup. It works great for a $75 setup. Get the Aqualifter prefilter if you're going to run Kalk.

There is no need for a prefilter. There is nothing that need filtering.
