Default KH & GH

organic dolomitic lime which has both calcium and magnesium and makes a better
buffer. when you use this you can put it in the filter and it will dissolve on
demand. it is best to always check the stuff by putting it into 5 gallons of water
overnight with an airstone to make sure the pH doesnt spike. Ingrid

know I need lime for the KH and gypsum for the GH. And, I know there is a
difference between dolomitic and dolomite limestone, but which one is the
right one for the pond? I will be going to Home Depot, so, what do I need
to get and how much. Our pond is around 2400 gallons. Thanks.
Kathy
