    I'll be glad to sketch out what I did if you are interested. Total cost in materials was probably < $60, including the MaxiJet 1200.
    Steve,

    Can I get some instructions too?


    Thanks

    Steve, you probably knew this was gonna happen, but if you don't mind, I would like a sketch too.

    Thanks,

    Ditto on the DIY instructions.

    My current method is mixing kalk in a bucket letting it sit/settle overnight and siphoning the solution into 3000cc IV bags. Then I slowly drip it in to the sump with IV tubing. Its can be a PITA, but its cheap.

    Alex if you venture into constructing kalk reactors I would be interested.

    Ok, Ok, Ok - I'll try to sketch what I did sometime in the next few days/weeks.

    JimD - Any objection to me passing along your design idea?

    Alex - If you go into mass production of this, you might want to offer Jim a frag or something ;)
