What is a kalkwasser reactor?

A kalkwasser reactor is a device used in saltwater aquariums to automatically dose calcium and alkalinity into the system. It involves mixing kalkwasser (calcium hydroxide) with water to create a supersaturated solution, which is then slowly added to the aquarium.

Why use a kalkwasser reactor?

  • Calcium and alkalinity supplementation: Provides a consistent supply of essential elements for coral growth.
  • Phosphate reduction: Kalkwasser can help lower phosphate levels in the aquarium.
  • pH increase: Can help maintain a stable pH level.

How does a kalkwasser reactor work?

  • Kalkwasser preparation: Kalkwasser powder is mixed with water to create a concentrated solution.
  • Reactor operation: The reactor continuously stirs the kalkwasser solution, preventing precipitation and maintaining supersaturation.
  • Dosing: The supersaturated kalkwasser solution is slowly dosed into the aquarium.

How do i choose a kalkwasser?

  • Reactor size: Select a reactor that can hold enough kalkwasser solution for your needs.
  • Stirring mechanism: Ensure the reactor has an efficient stirring system.
  • Dosing pump: Choose a reliable dosing pump to control the kalkwasser flow.

What maintenance is required?

  • Regular cleaning: Remove precipitate buildup and clean reactor components.
  • Kalkwasser replenishment: Add fresh kalkwasser powder as needed.
  • Pump calibration: Ensure accurate dosing by calibrating the dosing pump.
