The bucket of water only needs to be higher than the kalc reactor, not the tank.

You do have a sump under your tank, correct?

room is the issue... I'm running incredibly low on realestate under there. I think I'm going to have to build a "book shelf" to the right of the tank. I could fit a 7"x7" reactor, but the grav feed is another issue
I'll have to see what happens after the sump/skimmer install this weekend

Donnie posting would be fine.
You can place a filter after the unit if you want, but if it is constantly doseing all day the tiny amount of water dribbling out in intervals won't be enough to blast up the kalk on the bottom. It is more a gentle swirl. As soon as I can, I'll do a JPEG on the unit for you to see it in action.

We should start production, by the end of this week. I WILL have a model ready in time for the meeting.
Hopefully I will have several models though.

what happened with these??? I'm very interested!!! Does anyone have one running? How is it?
I'll be adding a RODI system in the next week or so and I'm going to want to go with a kalk and Ca reactor soon after.

I am running the prototype as we speak. It works awesome thus far. Powder gets stirred everytime the tanks dose, but the kalk settles back down before it reaches a couple inches off the bottom. It is a gentle stir rather than blasting it with a pump.

I sent off a PM to aquadoc about both a calcium and kalk reactor... I can wait on both since I'm not quite ready for SPS yet, but I am interested in this units performance!!! Thanks for the update, I'll watch your other thread for more!!!
I have somewhat been in the market for a kalk reactor, but its not really at the top of my list; however, with a deal that appears to be as good as this I think it has definately moved up on my list. Whenever they become available I'd definately get one if I have the funds.
Put me down for a 2 footer. :P
