2 Part Calcium or Kalkwasser???

[sergiotami]

Just wanted opinions on which is best and why??? I use a two part currently, but seen some outstanding growth in tanks that use kalkwasser ...

Kalkwasser has been good to me up to the point where it can no longer keep up with calcium and alk demands.....then I had to switch to two-part. I've heard of people using vinegar to increase the amount of kalkwasser that can be mixed with water....but two-part seems like the better solution, especially if already running a controller to manage dosing pumps.

FWIW, my boss (TexasTodd) only used KW on his tanks. Never tested them for CA and ALK. Both tanks were outstanding. First time I met Todd was to pick up a piece of Green Slimer that was over a foot tall. I am going to dose kalk through my ATO only. Much cheaper, and less hassle than dealing with 2 part.

Yeah, I'm doing kalk as well, ever since ping turned me onto the stuff a couple years ago.

I've been meaning to jump into dosing myself, where is a good place to buy the Kalk?

Elegant Reef should have it. TT does as well.

That's where I get mine.
