yeah, that looks about right to me.]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2006 01:09:37 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15740&PID=139314&title=getting-numbers-on-dosing-kalkwasser#139314 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15740&PID=139284&title=getting-numbers-on-dosing-kalkwasser#139284 Author: sshm

I've looked at trying to gage how much does dosing saturated limewater raise Ca and Alk in order to set up a dosing/maintenance scheme and I didnt get much info . Maybe its been discussed before but I just scribbled some numbers and got the following:

Amount by which Ca (in ppm) is raised by dosing Saturated Limewater =
(800*gallons of limewater dosed)/(tank volume)

Amount by which KH is raised in meq/l = (the above number obtained for calcium)/20

The assumptions are that 1 liter of saturated limewater has 800ppm of Ca and that Ca and Alk are in the rattio of 20:1 in limewater.

Is this correct?
