    +1 to what the old man said. I use ms. Wages pickling lime in my ATO and dose 2 part (due to high demand). I just discovered that Menards carries it.

    I also just saw my DIY kalk reactor was empty... which may explain why my numbers were so low.

    Hey Miz you'll have to teach me about this Cal/Alk stuff because I've never found a source that explained it a way I understood. I think I'm going to start dosing either 2 part or kalk soon.

    Just wanted to update. Using Seachem Kalkwasser in my ATO and so far so good. Added 8tsp to 4 1/2g of RO/DI and my ALK has been pretty steady at 9.0, Ca = 440, and Ph = 8.2 I'm really liking this

    This little write up doesn't tell you how to FIX your numbers, but I did find it helpful in understanding what those numbers mean:
