BRS Dual Reactor as Kalk Reactor.

[blakeorme]

I've have a Dual Reactor from BRS that I didn't use for my build and haven't had the time to sell it. My PH has been fluctuating around 7.68-7.8, and I decided dosing kalk would be a good way to mange PH and Calc needs. The tank is 4months old so isn't have a large Calc need.

Plan:
-ATO is a 30 gal tank with a Tunze Osmolator.
-run the dual reactor inline with the Tunze and fill the first chamber with appropriate amount of Lime (Mrs. Wages pickling lime).
-by nature of the reactor the water should be running up through the kalk mix and into the second chamber.
-I have an apex so if the pH gets to high I can have the Osmolator shut down.
-I'd rather not have to deal with the Osmolator pump failing frequently by just mixing kalk straight into the top-off reservoir.

Is this feasible, or am I missing some point.

The duel reactor won't work as a kalkreactor

Mix your kalkwasser in a separate container than you reservoir and fill your reservoir from the clear water in your mixing container after you've given it a couple hours to settle.

I figured it couldn't/wouldn't be so simple.

Thanks for input!
