Hey, glad that you were able to get things more balanced. Don't stop that Kalk. Kalkwasser adds calcium and Alkalinity at balance ratios, this will help keep your numbers elevated.
9.4 does seem low for calcium hydroxide. I have not used brightwell aquatics kalk+2, I personally use Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime from amazon, $6 per/lb My comes out to have a PH +12.

According to the link above, what you are using is not pure calcium hydroxide and that is most likely why your PH in your ATO is not as high as mine. Seriously, try the pickling lime, I have been using it for years. My PH is always 8.3 - 8.55. Here is a link to 6 lbs of it for $30, it will last you a 6 months to a year.
