Was bidding on one that looked perfect for me on ebay, but ended up not winning it.
So now, I need to find a kalk reactor that's either new or used that would suit my needs.
My tank is only 38g, so I wouldn't need a huge amount of volume. I also do not run auto top off. I take a bucket of RO/DI and manually put it in every day (don't have the room for auto topoff).
Here are my questions -
Is there a smallish kalk reactor that people have seen that wouldn't be overkill for a 38G?
Also - if I don't tie this in with an auto topoff - would it be a problem? Just refill the water & kalk powder as needed? If so, how should I control it's release into the sump? I assume float switch is not a great idea, since it's not tied in with a topoff system.
Lastly - should I get one that gets stirred by a powerhead, or magnetic?
Oops - I lied... this is the last one. Does anyone know of a good place to buy one (with good prices)? Doesn't seem like they go up for sale on the boards very often.
Thanks!
