I told you how to make one, get a small tupperware container and drill a hole and add a small valve and some clear tubing 1/8" i think and silicone the container and there you have it.

no you need a air valve

mr_alberta 02-26-2006 02:09 AM

Are you making a Kalk dripper? All you need is a 2L pop bottle, drill a hole in the cap, stick some airline tube in it and seal it, and use a valve with some sort of precision (or tie knots in the tubing) to control the drip rate.

ok, im home now, i have a question, to do a drip of the pickling lime, how much should i mix to drip into my 20 gallon for the next couple of days????

mr_alberta 02-27-2006 12:40 AM

Start with 1/2 teaspoon first and adjust as needed. Keep an eye on you pH though and dose it at night.

NanoReef 02-27-2006 01:22 PM

does this stuff reduce PH??? and why dose at night??? so the corals dont get it full on???? also, i have a container that is 1/2 gallon.....im going to put 1/2 teaspoon in there mixed with the rest of it water...this should last how long??? how many drips should i get?? is it like 1 per second?? thanks
