IceCap Kalk Mixing Reactors
The IceCap Kalk Mixer is a dedicated reactor for dosing kalkwasser in a safe and controlled matter to supply equal additions of Calcium and Alkallinity to a Reef Aquarium. Kalkwasser dosing is considered one of the best all around methods to supplement calcium and alkalinity in a balanced solution. Pushing your top off water through a Kalk Reactor will create a super saturated slurry that has a high pH, helping increase your tanks pH while keeping your reefs most important elements (calcium and alkalinity) stable and balanced. There are many different dosing methods for kalkwasser, and by using a reactor, you can go longer in between maintenance while keeping a very stable, and consistent solution.
Simply connect the IceCap Kalk Mixer to any freshwater reservoir with the use of an Auto Top Off unit or dosing pump(sold seperately). The adjustable speed motor effectively mixes your calcium hydroxide (kalkwasser) with the use of a timer or controller(sold seperately). This method is not only ideal but is also the safest way of dosing the freshest possible kalkwasser to your reef system. The IceCap Kalk mixer relies on gravity draining, which is much safer and reliable than common pressurized reactors available that are prone to clogs and leaks.
When adding kalkwasser to any aquarium, it is best to use a pump with a slow flow rate. Due to the high pH of the solution, it is best to add kalkwasser in small amounts, slowly, multiple times a day. Most ATO systems on the market will fit the flow rate needs of the reactor very nicely. A timer for the motor is required to mix the solution throughout the day.
