Hi,
Im looking to make the addatives for my tank cheaper as I use Triton other methods now and my Alk consumption is 2,9 per day so it is getting expensive..
So I was looking at the balling method from tropic marin.
Im living in Europe so its a lot cheaper than the states.
I can get 3x 2kg of the powder for 32 euro (37 dollar) witch lasts 95 days.
Triton was 117 euro for 5 liters (138 dollar) witch lasts 65 days.
Ialready have a kalk stirrer running and I can not add more thank 1dkh per day as I do not have more evaporation.
So the gap to fill with 2 part is 1,9 dkh.
I got room for 5 liter containers (maybe 10l if I rearange some stuff) which means I need to refill them olmost every week...
So I wonder if I could do the same as a kalkwasser stirrer and just dump in 2kg of powder in a 5l reactor and stir it a few times a day?
An other alternative is ofcourse a calcium reactor but they are pretty expensive as my tank is only 350l (90gallon).
What do you guys think? Has any one tried a soda ash/calcium cloride stirrer before?
