Anybody do this before?

Here is the question.

Until I get to Van and set up a proper RO resevoir for the tanks, what I want to do in the mean time is run my kalk stirrer in a loop within my tank. Having the minijet pump water from the sump into the stirrer and then have it dripped in a different part of the sump. Curious about it. Anyone ever done that? Any ideas about possible problems? Suggestions?

Once I can rig an effective dosing system using float switches within the system, this is how I want to add a bit o' kalk to make the mornin' great.. lol

Hey Darren,

Must be too early in the morning for me,I cant figure out what you mean.

How did you have it before?

Hello Darren,

Interesting. I wonder how you would add the kalk to the stirrer, manually or automatically.

MArc,

Instead of having the water taken fom a storage resevoir I am doing the same thing that my CA reactor does and takes water from the sump to use in the Kalk Stirrer.

once I get to Van I will get a good storage container to keep topped off with water for top off and dosing. but for now I am curious. and lazy. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Titus,

I add the Kalk manually. The stirrer is clear on the bottom so I can keep an eye on the level of Kalk inside and replenish as needed. When I had this running on my 90 I added Kalk once a month or so. I am just too lazy to mix it nightly..
