OK....I've always used the Kent Calcium Additive to keep my Calc levels up were they need to be.

I have a dosing pump and have been reading alot about using Pickling Lime.

So my questions are:

1) How do I mix this up? 1 Tbs to 1 gallon of Dosing Fresh Water? Let it sit for a day or two before using it? etc, etc????

2) How much do you dose? 1 tbs of mixed per 10 Gallons of water????

3) Better to dose 1 30 minutes run of the dosing pump or 2 15 minute runs of the dosing pump spread apart? (You get the idea)

4) I read something about only getting the water out of the dosing jug and not the settlement at the bottom, but on read this on one site.....True / False?


All dosing pros chime in.....want to do this right. :lol
