Reef Kalkwasser

Initial Setup:

1. Prepare the Kalkwasser Solution:

   • Ingredients:
     • 3 grams (1 teaspoon) of Seachem Kalkwasser
     • 4 liters (1 gallon) of water
   • Instructions:
     • Add 3 grams (1 teaspoon) of Seachem Kalkwasser to 4 liters (1 gallon) of water.
     • Mix thoroughly to dissolve the powder. If using pure water, a fully saturated solution can be prepared by adding 6 grams (2 teaspoons) to 4 liters (1 gallon) of water.

2. Drip the Solution into the Aquarium:

   • Method:
     • Use a drip system to slowly add the Kalkwasser solution to the aquarium.
     • Monitor the pH and carbonate alkalinity levels regularly.
     • Adjust the rate of addition to maintain a stable pH between 8.3 and 8.4.

3. Avoid Direct Addition:

   • Never add the Kalkwasser solution directly to the tank. Always use the clear supernatant (top solution) and avoid allowing undissolved material to enter the aquarium.

Maintenance:

1. Regular Monitoring:

   • Continuously monitor the calcium, pH, and carbonate alkalinity levels in the aquarium.
   • Adjust the dosing rate as needed to maintain optimal water parameters.

2. Water Changes:

   • Perform regular water changes to maintain water quality and replenish essential minerals.
   • Ensure that the new water is properly mixed and matched to the aquarium’s parameters.

3. Store Properly:

   • Keep Seachem Kalkwasser in a tightly closed container when not in use.
   • Minimize the solution’s contact with air to prevent calcium carbonate formation and precipitation.

4. Supplementation:

   • If evaporation rates or CO2 concentrations are insufficient, consider supplementing with additional calcium products like Reef Advantage Calcium™, Reef Complete™, or Reef Calcium™.
   • For carbonate alkalinity, use products like Reef Builder™ or Reef Carbonate™ (do not mix these directly with a Kalkwasser solution).

1. Can I add Seachem Kalkwasser directly to my tank?
   No, always mix it with water first and drip the solution into the tank.

2. What should I do with the sediment left at the bottom after mixing?
   Discard the sediment as it is likely to convert to calcium carbonate and will not dissolve.

3. How often should I add Kalkwasser to my tank?
   This depends on your tank’s evaporation rate and calcium needs. Regular monitoring will help determine the appropriate frequency.
