Square Kalk reactor

[Guest Kimo]

How do you guys think a square kalk reactor would work?  It seems like it would be easier to build, and would take up less space than an equally sized tubular one.  the only problem I see is getting kalk paste stuck in the corners and edges.

 

There is even a pic of one in Eric B.'s Aquarium Corals book, although it's an old pic.

 

What do you all think?

Jamie,

 

I suppose a square reactor would work equally as well, except for the problems you mentioned.  However, large diameter tube is easy to come by, so making a round unit would be easier than a square one in my opinion.  You can use PVC or Acrylic, but the latter would be more difficult to find locally.
