Well since getting my calcium reactor I have been battling lower pH than I would like, so I am thinking about converting a NextReef MR1 reactor to a kalk stirrer. Here is a pic of the reactor (sucks they went out-of-business):
Modeling my DIY stirrer after this video:
But also looking to mirror the Geo KR615 some as well:
So here are my parts list thus far:
1 - NextReef MR1 reactor
and that's all I currently have. Started adding stuff to my cart in Amazon for the DIY project (now I will not buy everything from Amazon because I can save $$ getting else where, just a holding place for everything I need):
Only part that I haven't been able to find are the push connect fitting to replace the existing NPT elbows that came with the reactor.
If anyone has an idea of where I can find some that will allow me to put 1/4 acrylic tube in it and still be able to screw it into the top of the NextReef, that would be awesome.
Will decide early next week if I will go through with the project.
Stay tuned.
