kalkwasser dosing equipment suggstion TLF reactor and avast k1 with dosing pump

[GSnake]

Hi,
i was looking for a kalkwasser method other than ato reservoir or bucket (sorta messy) and would suggestions / experiences with TLF kalk reactor and avast k11, stirrer or even icecap kalk; which is also available to me.

i like the clear housing; so im leaning towards the TLF or avast k1, its for a 66 gallon tank.

i would also prefer to use my doser to dose ml every hour (which works with avast but not TLF, due to water pressure needed ? )
my other option is to use my ato pump, its an old kamoer ato (78 gph pump)

Use the Avast Marine one, the stirrer bar at the bottom insures well mixed Kalk powder to saturation and never will clog or stop if you put a little more kalk than your suposed to, the magnetic stirrers, I've always had issues with those.
I Run the Avast K2 on my 850 gallon system and I love it, zero issues.

Avast has a build your own kit that saves you like $100.00 they are easy to put together.

I used to run the aquamedic 5000 but they don't make that one anymore, that's why I went with Avast, same concept.
I use the Neptune DOS with mine, I run reverse light cycle but dose the 24 hour evap amount ( for me its 5 gallons per night) in the 10 hour period.
That method keeps my PH swing almost nothing between day and night.
Day PH - 8.30 average
Night time PH 8.35 Avg
Let me know if you need help with the reverse lighting concept of Kalk, been running it this way for almost a year.

Hope this helps.

the build your own kit sounds great, but its not available for me.
ill likely get a stirrer in the future to satisfy my gear junkie, but for now i bought a large reservoir and will dose kalk from that. slim jim garbage bin reservoir
