I have had so much success with this Kalk stirrer that I am recommending it. Calcium addition has never been easier for me and my water quality parameters as tested by Progressive are nearly perfect. Alton gave me an A- for the grade. My calcium is at 470 and clams and corals love this. All top off water goes through the stirrer and is automated by a JBJ ATO with a small pump in a 10 gallon aquarium that is filled with RO. 1/2 cup of Calcium hydroxide is added about every 2 weeks and the old stuff is dumped out. The little motor stirs a paddle that mixes this. You have 3 choices for calcium, 2 part, calcium reactor or kalk. I choose kalk. Good luck.

I am going to ask a dumb question here, will this take the place of a calcium reactor? If I am understanding this right, it will. What are the pros and cons of using this instead of a CO2 calcium reactor, other than price? You say you run your top off water thru this and then I am guessing that it comes out of the machine thru a tube and drains into your sump. How do you control how much of the calcium mixture comes out of the machine so that you don't over dose? I know its alot of questions, if you don't have the time to answer them, I understand.

I have been doing alittle reasearch on this as I know that I need one, lol. Anyway I know that GSA makes a good product and went to bulk reef supply to see how much they were. I guess that BRS dosn't sell GSA but they do sell this one http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/pro ... -1000.html
They pretty much say that this is a better mouse trap, I tried to find some reviews on this Kalk reactor but couldn't find any. Anyone know anything about this or have any input?

Crustman, I also ment to ask you, in front of your Kalk reactor are two filters of some sort, what are they?

It's part of the Lifeguard aquatics modular system. They have different modules for heater, UV, mechanical, etc filtration systems.
