Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I think it could help but I don't dose kalk so I am not the best person to ask. I am looking at it from the process point of view, if you start dosing kalk you are going to move the water parameters(of course hoping in the proper direction) which is going to destabalize your tank temporarily...
Calc is not so important at this point and is probably due to salt choice(?), but I would try to get my alk to a good level and mg as well and then make sure they stay stable for a week or two. You don't want to introduce it while you are fiddling with dosing, wait until you get a good handle...

What a bummer sorry to see you getting out. Too bad you cannot set up a nano or something with all the nice equipment you have. Watching fish is a relaxing healthy activity, if you are looking for an excuse. :)
