I would use Turbo calcium and a good buffer (i use seachem 8.3) to bring your calcium up and then use the Kalkwasser drip to maintain the level you want.

P S there are several calculators on the net to help you with proper dosing.

Oh come on Gator! By the looks of those awesome frags your doing something right!
KAJeff, Welcome to MAAST!
Run the Kalk for makeup water on a float valve or doseing pump. It works! It won't bring up alk or calcium quick but over a period of months it does bring the system into check. I'd go with R.Allard's recommendations and hit it with some turbo calcium and buffer. To get you up to snuff.
