Hello, fairly new to the hobby. Currently, my 100G tank parameters are..
Alk 7.6 dkh
Nitrates 5
Phosphate .14
Calcium 439
PH 7.8
Currently, not dosing anything to my tank. However, I am running GFO and bio pellets.
Looking to increase my Alk, Calc, and PH by adding kalkwasser to my system. Plan is to add a kalk reactor to my ATO system. My tank is currently going through 5 gal of RODi water every 6 days. Been reading about the benefits of mixing white vinegar to kalkwasser in the ATO reservior. However, I planned on using a kalkwasser reactor so not sure if adding vinegar is needed. If so, should I add vinegar in my ATO reservior or directly to my reactor? Also, what is the recommended kalk to vinegar ratio? I am planning on starting with maybe 1 a teaspon of kalk per reservior gal, which is a total of 5 tsp, to slowly start off..Any advise would be appreciated...thanks
