Watch your levels close Wesley. You need to find the proper amount to dose and you won't know until you see how much Ca is depleted and how fast.

i stoped using it about 4 days ago. my alk went down for some reason so i stopped the kalk untill i can figure that one out.. thanks for the heads up though. also when i was using the kalk i was testing everyday. ( every freakin day) and my levels seem to be really good. up untill the low alk.

First off...Hello! Got a link to this video off another forum.
I have a custom made kalk reactor coming next week but I went ahead and made one of these to tide me over until it gets here. I have a Ca reactor that can only get the Ca about 435ppm and not any higher and I have it cranked.
Works great for no more then what I have in it. Thanks for the video.

Hey Rob,

Great Video, I would like to see a video on how to set-up/run a calcium reactor, I have read up on them but I learn better or would say get a betterr grasp by seeing then reading, I have a 90 gallon tank with mostly softies/mushrooms/lps. I really want to go sps but i get confused / Afraid to take that jump.

Thanks
EJ

Once you see how a Ca reactor runs you will kick your self in the butt for not doing it years ago. It is a real easy piece of equipment.
