Kalk water bottle thing...
 
I saw a post a few days ago its was on here or another form that showed a 20oz water bottle being used to dose Kalk. Anyone have a link for it? I know its really easy I just want to see how they made theres.

i have a 20oz. Gatorade bottle with a hole drilled undersize at the bottom SIDE. i use a single valve for airline (gang valve) superglued in place. i have a 3.0" square piece of plexi-glass SGed to the bottom of the bottle for stabiliy. set it on the corner of the tank and adjust to 4 drops per second.
i mainly use it for top-off (appx. 20 oz. daily) in my wifes 25GT. i add Ca, Mg, Alk, diluted in RO/DI to keep parms stable as possible. always rinse out the bottle before adding any supplements. :)

Its sucks for me right now I have no RO/DI unit. I am working on one but nothing right now. Do you have any picks of the bottle? I guess you have one tube in the fuge and one out of the bottle in the air right?

thanks

distilled water is as good if not equal to RO/DI. :D
i just pour it in the bottle and let it drip til empty. rinse it out afterwards, only if used to add any supplements. :rollface: no fuge! mutha nature filters with LR & LS and a well established tank. :)
