kalkwasser

Exscuse my ignoreance I am new to this.
What is kalkwasser?
and what does Bump mean?

 

[apollothesun]

kalkwasser is calcium hydroxide which is basically pickling lime powder which raises calcium in a saltwater tank. you mix the kalk with ro/di in a plastic container and shake it up. once the powder settles in the container its the clear water that you drip into your tank usually after the lights go out because it raises the ph. you want to have a calcium test kit handy so you can gauge how much calcium you need per day. usually needed for an sps tank.
basic water changes should suffice if your just starting out.

bump means bumping the thread so it goes up to the top
