Long story short, I'm in the middle of moving and found the old Kalk reactor in storage.
It is a Two Little Fishes Kalk reactor 300 and I never really liked it. It never seemed to agitate the Kalk and was a glorified container. Money is tight with the move, so I decided to modify this one instead of buying a new Kalk stirrer. I 3D printed parts and used this 24v motor to try and make this thing work.
Here are the actual parts. I reused the o ring from the lid and the intake tube but relocated it from the middle to the side of the reactor.
Please ignore the mess, as I'm moving and trying to get the tank back up and running before I make things neat. I used the Apex 24v ports on the EB832, but you can easily just hook it up to any 24v power supply. I have not seen a Kalk stirrer firsthand. Can you guys give me some feedback so I can improve the design?
