Acoustic Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I got kalk and superbuffer yesterday because my B-Ionic ran out. With B-ionic my water specs never became stable. Anyhow, I made a gallon batch of Kalk yesterday. Today I decided to mix in my dose of superbuffer with my premade dose of Kalk. I am stupid, stupid, stupid. Anyhow, in case you are wondering this is what happens when you don't follow directions explicitly. Link to comment

OscarBeast Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Don't mix Kalk and Super Buffer or put Super Buffer in your salt when you are mixing it. *cough* I have done it too. Link to comment
Korbin Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 You know, I've put just a little bit of Kent Part A and B into freshly mixed saltwater and it turned cloudy. Kalk is a saturated solution of CaOH (I think). Since its saturated, if you add any more calcium it precipitates. Link to comment

MrKrispy Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 yah, got any more photos? Put a jellyfish in there and you got some entertainment. Link to comment
JohnnyMTB Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Did the same thing with Seachems Reef Builder and Calcium, figured I was saving time dosing both and didn't bother reading the bottle "Don't mix with calcium". Like someone said it just precipitates tha calcium, by next morning tank was crystal clear again. I now dose on consecutive nights. Link to comment
