Kalk Reactor.......Oregon

I have an Ecotech Marine Kalk Reactor. This is a beast of a reactor. I upgraded to the new and improved motor and have not used it since. Below is the description from Ecotech. The unit measures 8" diameter and 24" tall.

Asking $275 plus shipping.

The limewater reactor is a tool used to maintain calcium and alkalinity levels in the reef aquarium. Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is dissolved in deionized water and dispensed in a controlled manner to the system. Ca(OH)2 reacts freely with CO2, by limiting the contact with CO2 the viability of limewater is lengthened.

The basic operation of the reactor is thus: the reactor goes inline between a freshwater supply and the aquarium system. The reactor maintains a saturated calcium hydroxide solution by periodically operating a magnetic stirring device; receiving freshwater from a reservoir, clear limewater is displaced into the aquarium at a rate equal to the evaporation rate of the aquarium.

Reactor setup is amongst the simplest used to support calcification within a reef aquarium; once the unit has been loaded with calcium hydroxide, setting up the dosing pump and adjusting the stir frequency is all that is required to get the unit fully operational.

The kalkwasser reactor is designed and built with longevity and functionality as the primary concern. Each reactor is built using cast acrylic, milled key-holed flanges, and utilizes o-rings, UHMW wear plates, and thumbscrew/wing-nut combos to ensure a trouble free operation for the life of your aquarium.



Motor Upgrade for Kalk Reactor
Stronger Motors for First Generation Kalkwasser Reactors Now Available!

These new motors have enough torque to power through two pounds of kalkwasser! That adds up to well over four cups. The EcoTech Marine(TM) Kalkwasser reactor is now capable of mixing the most kalkwasser of any magnetically stirred reactor on the market. This motor is supplied in all outgoing reactors and can be easily added to any of our reactors already in use for $35. Send us back the old motor and bracket assembly and we will ship the new motor and bracket with wiring ready to go.
