    Here are some pics of the kalk reactor and auto top off unit i build about 6 months ago this unit works perfect and would recommend that anyone interested in dripping kalk build one of these my unit tops my tank off as the reactor works let me know what u think and if anyone wants to know exact supplies or how i did this i will build another with pics of the process. Reactor is also on a timer 4 times a day the solution is mixed.

    I am very interested. Can you post up the exact build supplies and all that good stuff?

    I like DIY and do as much as I can. On my DIY 200g tank, I have an ATO with the top off reservoir that holds the water, merely adding a few tablespoons of pickling lime to the water. Not optimal, but it sort of works.

    I'd be realy interested in knowing how you did this. It's exactly what I'm looking for, think you'd build them for sale? I'll PM you.
