dandy7200 April 3, 2007 Author April 3, 2007 The first 12 kalk reactors that were preordered are ready. Everyone should have gotten PM from me, if not please let me know.
dandy7200 April 3, 2007 Author April 3, 2007 I will finish up the other few this week and then it's calcium reactor and smaller media reactor time Those are simply incredible. Thanks Jason, I made sure to wipe the blood off the workbench for thse photos

jason the filter freak April 12, 2007 April 12, 2007 Maybe I'm just really dumb here, but what does the air pump do on the kalk reactor?
altezza April 12, 2007 April 12, 2007 that is an Aqualifter, its job is to slowly pumping in RO water to the kalkmixer
dandy7200 April 13, 2007 Author April 13, 2007 Nice pictures Mohsin, looks like that skimmer is breaking in nice Ok guys we need an official Grey Seas Aquatics "name" for our skimmate. Deltec's "NOG" Euroreef is "Got skimmate?" LOL

Deltec's "NOG" Euroreef is "Got skimmate?" LOL My vote is "Nasty thick greenish brown junk that smells really nasty and gives you wife something else to complain about". Catchy, isn't it!!

dhoch April 13, 2007 April 13, 2007 Dan, I have a question for you. Have you tested the "longevity" of the kalk solution with your kalk reactor? It's not totally sealed, and I'm wondering how long one can expect to get "good" kalkwasser before haveing to replace it. Dave
dandy7200 April 13, 2007 Author April 13, 2007 "Its the Sh*t" LOL Dave, the Germans suggest cleaning every two weeks. That said, I have never cleaned mine I keep about a bit of kalk powder stirring in the bottom and make small additions weekly. Heres how I figure how much to add a week: I add 1 gallon of kalkwasser to my system/week. There is 2 teaspoons required to make up 1 gallon of kalkwasser. 2x7=14 teaspoons There are 3 teaspoons/Tablespoon 14/3= 4.6 Tablespoons There are 2 Tablespoons/oz. 4.6/2 = 2.3 oz So I add about a 1/4 cup weekly. When setting up the reactor I add a 1 week supply and then the 1/4 cup weekly. I don't make a slurry just unplug, lift the lid and dump it in. Takes about 12 seconds start to finish. I guess if I was pinned down to make a suggested clean out schedule it would be consistant with a powerhead driven reactor and be monthly cleaning, I'm just letting you know what I do. I will most likely clean mine inside and out quarterly.
mosheikh April 13, 2007 April 13, 2007 Thanks Dan. The skimmer is working great. Heres my opinion for the name of GSA skimmate, "Protein Shake". Mohsin

Deltec's "NOG" Euroreef is "Got skimmate?" LOL Foam on a glass of beer -something like: Put a real head on it with Grey Seas. Micro-brewed for a foamier head. Grey Seas gives better head. .. .. .. .. Okay - guess not. "You can shave with our foam." "Put it on strawberries!" "Whip it!" "Wet or dry, it's the foamiest!" "Meringue!" "Skimmate - the other protein!" Don't stop me - I'm on a roll... "Ah, what a relief it is!" (okay - old Alka-seltzer ad) fizzy, foamy, alka-seltzer.... "Just add sugar!" (egg white, sugar, meringue) "Kool-whipped!" "Grey Seas Foam" Okay... I'm spent for the moment... bob
flowerseller April 14, 2007 April 14, 2007 nad / dan Actually, GAG is good, and maybe even better, but just for the word GAG but "go nad" is funnier. I also like "Meringue!" and "Skimmate - the other protein!" is perfect for the back of a black GSA T-shirt
shawns April 14, 2007 April 14, 2007 Got GAS = Grey-seas Aquatics Skimmer you should add a question mark at the end, "Got gas?" or "Has your system been gassed?" ????
