Just refilled my Kalkwasser reactor because I've seen my alk steadily drop.
Steps to refill a ParlAStir:
1) Disconnect doser tube and bend over into a bucket.
2) Drain about a pint of the solution into a container.
3) Add about a cup of Pickling Lime to the container and stir.
4) pour solution into the bottom of the stirrer via funnel attached to a tube.
5) Top off stirrer with RODI

So, your wife is understanding with you being 2" shy. That is awesome. I wish my wife thought that way.

If I wasn't already packing such a huge water jug there may have been an issue.

My ParlAScrubber is still kicking but!

PH has been in the zone since I added it.

Looks like a stomatella friend

Love my stomellas free clean up crew they look like someone peeled their toenail off and it's moving around the tank.

Now that I have the room in my sump for the reactor trio I put a cutting-board top of it for a table and am using my old CO2 scrubber hoses - perfect length!

What do you put in 3 reactors? I just have carbon. And gfo is a no go for my phos limited butt.

I have K2 in the 3rd. I may end up using my old Co2 scrubber as my carbon reactor and skip GFO since I think my Phosphate is in good order now. add this 3 stage to my current RODI setup - more pre-filtering since my RODI filters go fast.
