I suppose this is used to drip calcium powder like kalkwasser from seachem

with distilled water mixed and poured into container for it to drip slowly if u have a calcium reactor and wanna carry on using it I doubt its not be of any use to you bro :eyebrow:

yah bros his rite man, you already have calcium reactor , so no need to use this,unless u want to use for other .... :D

more info on using kalkwasser: more on kalk

it is written somewhere in the document that the kalk mix should not be exposed to atmosphere as CO2 will 'destruct' the kalk in 2-3 days.

I.e. you'll need to mix fresh kalk every 2-3 days.

i'm not a Chemistry expert, so cannot validate this. But it's a good read for those who are interested in kalk reactor/kalk chamber.

Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

ya so its very troublesome I know of a bro whom is too lazy to mix so he just put the kalk powder on to the filter sponge

in the sump so no need to mix cause quite tiring :eyebrow:

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Bro, one big flaw in dripping kalkwasser is you're not correctly compensating for water evaporation... if you drip to much you'll decrease your SG and not enough you'll increase your SG.

I've been making KA reactors with float switches to add kalkwasser only when the water level evaporates, so if you're calculated how much water evaporate in the course of a day and replace it with kalkwasser water dripping system your the best...lol

BTW: you should only add kalkwasser during the night when the PH drops off and your CR reactor during day when the PH is at its highest... a perfect balance.

Regards
