thank you. the kalk reactor is a complex piece of equipment (sarcasm). fresh water is pumped into the bottom where the kalk powder sits, and flows out near the top. it saves the pump from sitting in kalk, which shortens the life. and i can basically put as much kalk into the reactor and not worry about dosage or powder being pumped into the tank. as long as there's kalk in there, a saturated solution comes out.

it's nice...but way overpriced for how simple it is. kinda like most reactors....and skimmers...and most everything that's designed for reefs.

i edited a full tank shot. the 14,000k halide really blues out the pics and i had to really up the saturation. more accurate than the last pic, but i still can't capture the true colors.

some more pics.

this is the FTS under LEDs (6 white, 6 blue).


this is under blue LEDs.



i'm getting better at shooting under the intense light. if anyone has any suggestions as to how i can capture the intensity of the colors without overexposing the shot, and without it coming out dark (like this pic), i'd really appreciate it.
