Reef Octopus KS100 Kalk Stirrer Manual

 

Kalkwasser dosing is considered one of the best all around methods to supplement calcium and alkalinity in a balanced solution. Pushing your top off water through a Nilson Reactor will create a super saturated slurry that has a high pH, helping increase your tanks pH while keeping your reefs most important elements (calcium and alkalinity) stable and balanced. There are many different dosing methods for kalkwasser, and by using a reactor, you can go longer in between maintenance while keeping a very stable, and consistent solution.

 

When adding kalkwasser to any aquarium, it is best to use a pump with a slow flow rate. Due to the high pH of the solution, it is best to add kalkwasser in small amounts, slowly, multiple times a day. Most ATO systems on the market will fit the flow rate needs of the reactor very nicely.  A timer for the stir bar motor is required to mix the solution throughout the day. We suggest the reactor mix just a few times a day for just a couple of minutes.

Product Questions

How often do you need to refill the reactor
Question by: Darrell Booker on May 4, 2016, 3:14 AM
Great question!
When used in conjunction with an ATO the water will not need to be refilled rather the Kalkwasser will need to be added in when ever the kalkwasser power in the bottom is not visible to be tumbling. Typically once a month the refill will need to occur. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
