no.... unless you do so in very different areas. The recommended method is to do one then the other.

wow that was fast thanks.. well i have drip dosers on each end of my tank which is a 40 breeder..Do you think that is ok?

Much easier to do a kalkwater/top off drip. It very simple to do. That is what I am doing on my current overstocked SPS/LPS 40b. Everything is happy and grows at a nice rate for me.

What I do is mix up 5g of kalkwasser in RODI for 24hrs using a magnetic stirrer ( I use to use PH but the kalkwasser ate up the impellar rather quickly). I then let it settle for a few hours then I extract the top 2/3rd of the kalkwasser mix and using a 2 1/2g pail 1/4'' vinyl tubing and a air tube valve to control the rate of drip from HD I rigged up a ghetto fabulous kalk drip/top off. I can take some pics when I hav a little time. It is very simple really.

why do you only use the top 2/3 of the pail.
