I use Reef Complete, which is SeaChem's liquid version of Reef Advantage Calcium. You'll need to use Reef Carbonate as well to balance Alkalinity in lieu of Kalk. These products are much more forgiving than Kalk (from my experience). Link to comment
ReeFur Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 what do you mean by "forgiving" ? Link to comment
PurpleUP Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 what do you mean by "forgiving" ? I tried using Kalk via an ATO. It occasionally caused calcium snowflakes and froze pumps. I later learned that kalk depleted Mg very quickly, which I wasn't testing at the time. That must have thrown my params way off. Anyhow, Reef Complete and Reef Carbonate don't seem to impact pH and work in better harmony with Reef Advantage Magnesium. Again, this was my own newbie experience with Kalk, but I know it works well for many advanced reefers. Link to comment
