DIY Drip Bottle

[Alentino]

I wanna make drip bottles for dripiin kalk and reef carbonate. can anyone tell me where to get the flow valve or whatever pointed thing? thanks.

You can get it at any LFS, even luohan shop if they are still around. A simple plastic airline valve will do.

Hi,

My DIY bottle uses a valve and tube used for hydrophonics.

Found that small adjustments to the drip rate can be easily made by turning the knob.

You can purchase such valves at Watercircle at Tyvritt Rd (near Jln Besar Stadium).

dont use metal, even stainless steel can corrode. Use only plastic. Disadvantage: U cant shut it offf totally but u never shut it off so its OK. I made myself using a bottle, plastic tbe and this plastic valve.

I did mine using a 5 litre bottle..

Can last 2-3 days depends on the drip rate.

You need to drip kalk..however..I don't think there is a need to drip carbonate...I just mix with water and spread the mixture evenly thru out my sump return compartment.

I dont add carbonate to the old water cuz dripping water in means incresase carbonate too. I add everything in the filter retturn compartment and its still OK

......you have to add carbonates..tap water alone does not have sufficient amounts of carbonates. How can dripping tap water increase the free carbonates in your tank? You will have to use carbonate supplements like reef builder etc...
