My DIY kalkwasser reactor parts are ready to go for my office tank.
I thought it might be useful to document it here rather than my build thread.
Today is January 5th. And I got all the parts in today. My thinking was that I could build a cheaper DIY reactor rather than buying the IceCap Kalk Stirrer I’ve been eyeing for some time — and one that is similar to the design of the Avast Stirrer I use on my main display.
Most serendipitous thing to happen is that the @seaside_aquatics dosing container’s base literally fits snugly around the HYCC magnetic stirrer I picked up off of Amazon—— means stronger magnetic contact and secure base —- but I’ll be wrapping this in a wood shelf so it won’t have a chance to fall over.
Summary of Ingredients:
• Kamoer X1 pump
• 2.5L dosing container
• magnetic stirrer plate w/ ac adaptor
• Inkbird Smart outlet
• 1/2” uniseal
• 1/2” Union slip
• 1/2” 90deg elbow
• 1/2” slip barb
• 1/2” ID vinyl hose
• 2 plastic ratchet clamps
I can’t build tonight but I’ll start over the next couple of days.
