What is Kalkwaser used for? I have FOWLR I Knows its for Corals but what
does it do?


You can mix it with RO/DI water for make up water. *In solution, it
creates Calcium hydroxide, so it replenishes Ca+ ions. *As it's very
basic, it's best to drip it in using a drip gate or using a top off
device or mix it with the effluent from a calcium reactor.

It will help your coralline grow if you have it. *It will also react
with phosphate and participate out of solution, so it keeps the
phosphate under control as well. *When I was dealing with hair algae, it
really helped knock back the growth.
