Davin another awesome video, you make it look so easy and definitely worth going that rote for my new frag system. Thank you

Your videos are awesome. I appreciate how much I have learned from your videos.

I ordered that stir bar, thank you for the tip!!!! I probably would have returned the thing without this video and that would have been very disappointing because I love the design. I got my 150 yesterday and for the life of me I can't get the one it came with to mix the kalk or couple up with the magnets. It was fine before Kalk went in, but now that its' not clear at the bottom it keeps jumping off and ending up at the edge of the reactor, I can't wait for the longer bar to arrive.

Excellent review. Thank you.

Brilliant! Thanks Dev!!

Nice !👍 Hopefully IceCap catches wind of that magnet upgrade tip. A bit odd they didn’t realize that themselves hey?! Cheers 🍻

Thanks for the video!! I run a Avast Marine Kalk Stirrer almost the same way... I run mine off a single BRS peralistic pump thats all connected to my APEX Controller.

Great 👍 review, full of good info, appreciated. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Definitely think about it 😉

Great video Davin and I have one too , the problem that I have with this reactor that if the cap is sealed no kalkwasser will come out and you f release it little bit it will work fine , so it’s ok to do that or this will effect the quality of the kalkwasser? Thanks in advance for your input

I need this! Eventually. :)

Great video, I just purchased the same mixer and also had to upgrade the stir bar...just wondering, I think I heard you mentioned you had your KALK dosing all day with the exception of the times the mixer is on and the 14 minutes of sediments to settle, can you hear the pump pumping water in the mixer? I am using one of the Komera wifi X1 Pro, and that is a bit loud to have it running 24hrs (at least for me), what pump would you recommend that is silent, but not pricy for something like this.

Deven, a couple other questions. Have they addressed the stir bar issue since the video? Also, do you leave the RODI pressured up to feed that ATO reservoir or how does that work?

Hey Devin any new video coming on GHL controller and settings you have setup on your aquarium

Devin, which conductivity probe are you using to check the kalk? Thanks!

have u considered just dosing kalk as your top off and removing the ato. freshwater to kalk reactor to sump

So the inflow to the tank has to be less than evaporation so you don’t overfill, 1m an hour or 2m an hour won’t effect the water level, in theory you have a lot of room to dose higher. Totally negating the need for two part or a calcium reactor and higher PH. I’m thinking I might do the same on my new waterbox frag.

I have the 120 version, I've been dealing with versa head height issues. I am using this kalk reactor on an aio system. I have the stirer installed above the tank. I was pulling water from my ato 3' below the reactor and pushing through the reactor, gravity feeding to the rear chamber of my aio tank. The versa couldn't handle the head height. I tried installing a back check valve before the versa pump the eliminate the back siphon issues I was having. It worked well for a week until the back check valve became clogged. I also had to run the versa at 12ml a minute to get 1 drop per second because of the head height issue with the versa. Today when I got home, I noticed no drip out of the gravity feed line. I removed the lines and made sure they were clear and not clogged, reprised the lines and still no drip out the gravity feed. I have to turn the versa up to 80ml a min to get 1 drop a second out of the gravity drip line. I decided this wasn't going to work. I ended up removing the line from my ato and installed a new separate reservoir above the kalk reactor. I primed the line and reprogrammed the versa @ 1ml per minute. It's working flawlessly so far. No more 10-80ml per minute on the versa to produce 1 drop a second. Thought I'd share. Sorry for the essay. I do have a question though. Is there a way to pause the versa via mobious during stir times or do you need to use a controller like Apex or ghl and or a timer to do this?

Did you setup the profilux to control the Versa pump on and off dependant on the ph level?

Another great video! I am curious about the drip speed. You use 1 ml/min. However, some folks add kalk to their ATO and that must be dosed at much higher speeds. What's the basis for the 1 ml/min. Cheers!

What did your tds meter read after you refilled it?

Reefdude if you are using kalkwasser. Do you still use dosing pump to dose alk, cal and magnesium. Thanks

How long did 1 cup last you? Just got a KM-200 finally today to replace the TLF300 and the Tunze ones I've been running simultaneously but not enough capacity.

Saw you video with the Rock Flower Anmones tank and it was really an insporation for my Nuvo 25. Also saw you had a Dragonete in your nano and am wondering how you had success with that? The green manderine is a fish I really desire but many say its virtially imossible to keep them in small tanks, can you share your secrets? Thanks a lot you have really great tanks!

Why does it need to be stirred periodically? Can anyone advise?

The most elusive of all dosing pumps the Versa.

How is the ICE CAP working? Still good? Customer Service good?

I am dosing from my ATO for more than a year and my ATO pump has held on till now without cleaning. :)

@reefdudes I have a question that I hope you may be able to answer for me. How much alkalinity and calcium does a full strength kalkwasser solution(1 cup kalk) have at a 1ml dose? Just received my new Ice Cap kalkwasser reactor and am new to kalkwasser dosing, I would love to not mess this up first time around. I purchased the same reactor along with brs pharma kalk. Thank you for any info and tips ahead of time.

Thank you for the video🙏. How much does it helps to maintain ph and alk in the system :)

Hi there. Did I miss why you wouldn't just add as much powder as the stir bar would be able to spin? If I understood it correctly the kalwasser solution can only have a certain concentration, and as such it would just slowly dissolve over time when new water is pumped into the reactor. Also for keeping the reactor topped up with power, have you tried using an autofeeder?

Which model do you have??

Hi Devin Don’t think we can get the Ice Cap Reactor in Australia. Do you think it would work with an adaptor plug into Australian 240 v power? If so I could buy on Amazon .

Too bad they are not just using a rotating (stepping) magnetic field instead of an actual motor to spin the magnet. On the end of the tube getting gunked up, how about putting the end under water with a hole to break siphon? Would that work? Something to try? Thanks for reviewing this. Very interesting. I'm just about to get back into the hobby after a decade out. Amazing number of things have changed, improvements almost always. Lots more knowledge. PS. Thank you for being metric and by weight! :)

I have an Avast Stirr and use a pH probe to monitor the Kalk. I find that very easy to use. In 1 wk, the ph drop from 11.7 to 9 after adding 1teaspoon Kalk. When the ph gets to 9, I add another teaspoon. Question, How often should i empty out and clean out the reactor?

Looking at switching to kalk reactor from two-part. Only dosing 42ml a day two part. Looking to increase Ph. What does your tanks ph run with the kalk reactor? High and low. Thanks.

I would have liked to know what you're ph parameters are using the reactor.

Hey Dev Would you know if the 60 mil stir bar would be the same for the medium reactor? Same stir motor?

Was your drain line fitting able to be turned easily? Mine is so gunked up with epoxy and aimed straight down. I built a 4” platform for mine and it still drains so slow the tube cakes up and overflows. Emailing coralvue has been a joke, all I got was “ I don’t have any advice “ from them

Problem is no matter where you dose kalk, unless its directly into the display the residue gets into the pumps and causes gunk.

Major issue with this reactor however is the fact it has an undersized outlet port which is prone to clogging. Now, if this were a sealed system where the center opening is for adding new kalkwasser powder was able to be locked down to prevent leaking - this would be great. however, it is NOT and will leak if the outlet is ever clogged (which it is prone to). A simple fix to make this system great? make the fill hole cap able to be locked down to create an air/water tight seal and the pressure would prevent clogging in the output line. making a graqvity fedd system on the output line was just plain lazy

Don't you have a calcium reactor on that tank also?

Hi, do you have any pros and cons vs the Avast kalk stirrer?

It looks like maybe you are using your wall as a green screen. You can paint the electrical plate if that is why you are not using a plate, they even have wood ones. Many receptacles have metal on the side that is hot all the time. If this is how your receptacle is designed any child that sticks their finger inside that box could be killed. Most electrocutions happen at 120v in the U.S and I am sure the same statistic goes for whatever commie voltage Canada uses 🍁. Also any water running down that wall is going to have much more of a tendency to enter that box. The plate is considered part of that installation and should always be left on. If you are going to die make sure it’s at least some glorious tank explosion because of a dosing disaster.
