Here I go again. I was sitting in front of my tank running thoughts thru my
head. I have been having trouble with my coralline algea growth later and
one of my local pet stores suggested that I try kalkawasser. So while I was
messing around tonight I came across some IV tubing that I borrowed from
work a couple of years back for just this reason but never did anything with
it. I mixed up some kalkawasser in an old 5 gal tank and set it dripping at
about 10 to 15 drops per min. first is this too much or too little? Not
much in my tank right now. I have a frogspawn, an elagance, a open brain, a
trumpet coral ,and a 7-8" deresa clam. I also have some soft coral also
(polyps and xenia). Second question. I know that you are only suppose to
mix up a week or so of kalk water at a time, but I have an idea for this. I
have an old HOT magnum canister filter in the closet. I was think that if I
was to put a micro filter in this and put it in the kalk water tank i could
circulate the water on a consistant basis and I think the kalk would catch
in the micron filter like the diatoms on a diatom filter. Thus this would
keep a clear solution and a saturated solution at all times. I would just
have to top off the make up water and add more kalkawasser every now and
again. Does anyone think this would work? I am worried about the calcium
concentrations freezing up the filter to frequently.
thanks again
Ben
