Two Part?

[jah-hoeva]

Been stepping up my water testing and have been noticing my CA slowly dropping, even while dripping kalk every night. My KH is fine, as is my MG and PH. Been doing weekly 10% water changes with RSCP Salt pretty religiously. Would this be a good time to move over to two part? I have everything here but dosing pumps to get started, but figured the kalk would maintain my CA and KH between water changes.

I am calibrating all of this right now. Kalk in my ATO was not enough. I bought a doser and am currently adding 80 ml of each of the two part per day. This is on top of about ATO 5 gallons per 6 days of saturate kalk + vinegar. (3 teaspoons per gallon of kalk + 1/4 cup vinegar per 5 gallons).

If you have a question about dosers, I am happy to share my research as I just completed that part of project last week.

Below are 3 very good articles about kalk and 2 part. Much of the research on these topics seem to stem from these articles. While dated, I haven't read anything that contradicts them. Or for that matter, adds practical help. Just my .02 cents.
