Looking to try out a Kalk Stirrer.
I currently use Tropic Marine All for Reef for replenishment but thinking of trying to continuously drip Kalk to see if I can boost PH.
My question is is there benefit to going with an oversized Kalk reactor? The K1 says 400 gallons and the K2 says 800 gallons. I have about 165 gallons, so booth seem sufficient. I haven't tested my daily evaporation but I think it's in the 5-6 gallon per day range. The K1 says up to 7 gallons and the k2 say 14 gallons.
Larger or smaller? The price difference is not really a concern if the bigger one will be better.
Thanks.

Kalk Stirrer DIY Kit
Building an Avast Marine Kalk stirrer from one of our DIY kits is an easy and fun weekend project. At the end of the build you will have the exact same product that we sell as an assembled stirrer which thousands of reefers have used to improve pH stability and dose a balanced solution to help...
