So if you want to raise your alk to 10dkh you will end up with a calcium level of aprox 490mg/l(don't want to get the calculator out to get an exact)
IMO this ratio would be a little unbalanced.
I would add some alk buffer ( I use baking soda myself) to bring your alk up alone to a higher level then use a balanced addative like kalk.

Hmmmm. So, should I be mixing 6-1 of Baking Soda/Washing soda. How do I introduce it to the tank? Drip? Dump it in? Then once I get the desired levels, I dose Kalk to maintain it?
