Grav August 18, 2004 August 18, 2004 Was gonna make a calk reactor, but that doesn't seem to be moving anymore, so I'd like to be in on this one.
flowerseller August 18, 2004 August 18, 2004 I have a 3/4 completed calcium reactor on my bench right now. I guess I will take the lead and start a post for kalk reactors (kalkwasser reactor) I currently use a large vat of DI water and sigma calcium hydroxide for all evaporation. This is added to the tank via a powerhead and float valve. Been doing it this way for 10+ years. See here if you are interested and motivated.
michaelg August 18, 2004 Author August 18, 2004 Can all who are committed to building the calcium reactor send me a pm. I will get the acrylic ordered- I forsee no problems with the cutting party on the 28th (you don't have to be present for it to be cut for you). Who can definately host this? Preferably someone with the bigger tools Chip, would you be willing to show up and lend a hand?
flowerseller August 18, 2004 August 18, 2004 I work most Saturdays, but rarely on Wednesdays . Sorry Let's see how the DIY Kalk reactor gets off the ground and maybe we can cut out both on a Sunday afternoon. HTH. Chip
ctreptow August 19, 2004 August 19, 2004 Sundays will work for me, I have some smaller tools 10" table saw and router drill press etc. Chris
michaelg August 22, 2004 Author August 22, 2004 ]]]bmp Still haven't heard back from most people. Please contact me directly. Michael
flowerseller August 23, 2004 August 23, 2004 Ca reactor guys, We (the DIY Kalk guys) just had a chat in the WAMAS chat room - diy The chat room works well and we have decided on this design Chip
HowardofNOVA August 23, 2004 August 23, 2004 Michael, I interested in the Calcium and Kalk. I just printed out the link that Chip showed and looks good. I plan on doing some landscaping and preliminary MOVING this weekend to my new place. Main move will be I believe on the 11-12Sep. But will try to stop in and catch up on the financial side of my part. Howard QUESTIONS? Where will we be meeting on the 28th? TOOLS: What do we have and what do we need? MONEY: How much do we need for each?
michaelg August 23, 2004 Author August 23, 2004 Dave- not sure. I haven't ordered the acrylic yet. There was about a dozen people in this thread who wanted to do this, but the list below is who has confirmed. I don't want to pay for the acrylic and be stuck with it. Guess I could contact all the people directly.... Me Dave (morgunda) Chris (ctreptow) gary (not available on the 28th) Mike (snakebyte)? Howard Chip- what sunday are you looking to do the kalk reactor cutting?
flowerseller August 24, 2004 August 24, 2004 Well, we'll have to have another "chat session" to find out. :D Really: Don't know yet but I'm pretty sure I'm digging a foundation this Sunday 28th and pouring it if I'm lucky with weather. I'll let you know as we find out. We have 9 kalkindians. Chip
Guest PDang August 25, 2004 August 25, 2004 I just found this post and I'm interested in building a Kalk reactor. Can anyone fill me in for what the price is and when/where the meeting will be for the Kalk reactor? Phong
michaelg August 26, 2004 Author August 26, 2004 You will have to see the kalk reactor thread This one is for CO2 based Calcium Reactors.
HowardofNOVA August 26, 2004 August 26, 2004 Michael, I'm going to back out of the Calcium Reactor at this time. Still staying with Kalk, but will wait on the Calcium. Thanks. Howard
flowerseller August 26, 2004 August 26, 2004 No date is set for the Kalk reactor but we were looking into mid October to start. Since we have a design already in mind, we will no doubt be starting earlier. I personally have to get a better handle on my kids school schedules before finding a sunday to play. We will plan another WAMAS CHAT session and post it on the KALK reactor thread so we can get an idea of numbers and dates. As of now, it will take place in my little Teepee in McLean, VA. Reefmon is going to try and get good prices on acrylic one we get an idea of what we need. Stay tuned. A lot has happened faster than we expected. Chief Wannakalkreactor

Coral Hind March 15, 2010 March 15, 2010 I've noticed every time the board goes through an upgrade we seem to lose stuff like old posts and pictures. I know I was upset when my posts about cutting the first BTA in 2002 got messed up. A lot of photos lost there. Maybe we should do another WAMAS reactor build since it has been 5 1/2 years since the last one?
Charlie April 11, 2010 April 11, 2010 I know that I need a reactor (Calcium, not nuclear) and I would love to get in on a build.
