Need a Kalk reactor design
 

Looking for Some Kalk Reactor plans for my 125g. The problem is I have very little space left in my cabinet, basically none. The reactor would have to be very short. Any ideas. If it doesnt work, I will have to go with the old fashioned drip method. :cry:

Well I just hooked up my PM kalkreactor. It appears that a fairly tall height (24") is an inherent part of the design. Every so often the mixing pump circulates the kalk in the reactor and it makes a cloudy kalk suspension up to 1/2 way up the height of the reactor. The output of the reactor comes from the very top so it is the very clearest part of the water. If the reactor were too short then the cloudy kalk suspension could get dosed into the tank.

yep the benefit of the reactor is in the height. a shorter one is less effective.

jack custom makes these at oa. he can do them to any size and they are pretty cheap.

it's basicaly a knock off of a pm.

Height... Thats what I figured :cry:
I guess dripping it will be. My cabinet is packed with Sump, refuge and
a CA reactor, along with all pumps and electrical.
