I'm dosing kalkwasser full-time using the single tubing. The rate displayed on the doser is 100mL.

I'm dosing kalkwasser full-time using the single tubing. The rate displayed on the doser is 100mL.

I'm at full time as well.....dosing only Kalk.
Got my info from Dean.
Dosing rates depend on your evaporation.

i'm planning on dosing 2 parts ionic night only. are there any required maintenances on this pump. it seems to be making a squeaking noise on every other rotations after it was on for a few hours.

i think a little vasaline on the rotor did the job.

Stupid question but I will ask anyways. Would dosing Kalk 24 / 7 screw up your PH?

 

[reefman]

i guess it can shoot up your ph if dose too much at once.

 

[PalmTree]

so dosing continuosly over a period of time is fine?

 

[reefman]

i use to dose as top off. as long as u dont let ph above 8.4, should be fine. i think too high ph will drop cal level.
