I did not, but I like parlaquatics! And I might need some new K7 mini shades soon :) But what is a kalkwasser stirrer?
Use it to dose kalkwasser to help keep alk stable.

I have reading to do. When I got started, read about kalkwasser and thought, "this has to be outdated" and went no further (also just had nanos with water changes), so I've got zero knowledge of how to employ it. Something to keep me busy in June!

I decided to try Kalkwasser when I started the tank mainly because I liked the idea of only have to dose one thing for alk and Ca.
I started using jugs I pre-mixed and thought it had potential until I was replacing a jug a day. So, I made my own stirrer; so stoked I did.

There is a lot more material on it now; unsurprisingly, a BRS video turned me onto it. I think a $4 bag of pickling lime feeds my tank for the better part of 1/2 a year.

It'll work for a nano too; probably don't need a stirrer. You could get along fine with premixed jugs.

The controller allows rest/runtime configuration but I'll set it up similar to mine which keeps the water at peek saturation while avoiding 'pucking' and attempting to not over-stir (and reduce effectiveness).

*makes less noise when filled with solution but it is a beefy motor so I hear mine outside the stand.*
 
If anyone can find another production kalkwasser stirrer with multiple LEDS I'll send you some frag stands!
