had it with my kalk reactor stirrer: I'm building my own reactor.

[Sk8r]

The darned stirrer---won't. I've gone through two of them, and they're just not powerful enough to rotate the little rod.

SO, I say to myself, Self, why am I pumping water out of this 32g tub to that 2g cylinder with the kalk in it, to shove it on into my sump?

I dumped the kalk into the tub, have cut myself an eggcrate platform to hold my topoff pump high off the bottom, and I am putting the hose straight from it to the tank.

I am putting a maxijet 400 in a timer in the bottom, under the eggcrate fake floor, to stir the kalk now and again [on timer].

I am jamming the lid down tight over locline hose and power cords, so I limit air exposure.

Wish me luck! At least this is running.
