I would avoid setting up a Kalk stirrer on your ATO at all cost. This is a very risky practice. Talk with the countless aquarists who have lost all their corals. There are better ways to do this. I would encourage you to read this article. Before you start I would read the entire article. https://reefs.com/magazine/the-kalk-calc-combo-method-185.html/ Good Luck, Bruce

I would highly recommend you read this article. It discusses in detail setting up a kalk stirrer in a safe manor. Bruce

My go pro has a case on it that allows me to go diving with it. I mount it to a 1/2" dia piece of PVC and just swing it around in the tank. Bruce

Sorry about that. Try now. Bruce

I have run the go pro in my tank many times. Here is a video I took right before I eradicated all mushroom style corals from my tank. You can see why in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCLJAsjHt04&feature=youtu.be Bruce

Remove the rock and pressure wash it. Do not replace the pests. They took over my tank at one point and were very difficult to get rid of.

I have seen many tanks with corals that pop with color not using magic lighting. It often takes time for a coral frag to mature and then color up. The tank also has to have very good, stable parameters and good lighting. Best of luck Bruce

Ha!. It has been a while. I have been so busy with other stuff. Here is a FTS from last March. I will try to grab one that is a little newer. Thanks for asking, Bruce

I just replaced my halides a few days ago and my Austera just started poppin. I am so happy. Bruce

I have mine set up like this. So it would be on the output. But that is because I do not feed mine with a pump. I think you could put it on either line in your case. Actually, mine is set up like this so I can scrub CO2 and raise pH.

A peristaltic pump is a good idea. The needle valve will clog over time and flow will be reduced or stopped all together. Here is a link to a detailed article on how I set mine up. https://reefs.com/magazine/the-kalk-calc-combo-method-185/ Good luck, Bruce
