Great video. I have always had better results running kalk. Idk what it is but I get little to no coraline growth without it. I suggest watching the BRS video about kalk and the purity of different brands if you have not already. Some of the brands have a lot of extra crap that you do not want to get in that beautiful tank.
The hulk is looking great! Your sand is so clean! How often do you vacuum it and what's your process? I would love it if you did a maintenance video, everything from cleaning the glass and filters all the way to blowing off your rockwork and cleaning the sandbed! Thanks for the videos!
Happy new year! I've had this hear to watch and funny enough I use the Deltec Kalkwasser and also the Brightwell Kalk +2 (sometimes my Mg goes to high so i go back to the normal kalk) - I just does it too (don't have a stirrer). Tank looks great - Happy Reefing!

Good video, but its not true that using the airline will send the fiber into the tank. There is more contamination in the house where your tank stays and airline with the natural oxygen from the outside makes it either better or at least doesn't harm a tank. Opening the door/windows would harm the tank with that concept btw...
Hi Ryan. I miss your reef videos. Hope you are doing ok. I am wondering if you think that reactor is worth the 1200 US dollar price tag. Is the little motor and stirrer pretty robust? I have a 700 gallon system (also in canada) I watched a ton of your videos while I was setting it up and love the info you have shared with this community to help us with our tanks. Cheers :)
Um....a skimmer IS a CO2 scrubber! That's why it is also known as a FOAMING FRACTIONATOR. It's mixing O2 into the water it scrubs, therefore, scrubing out extra CO2.
Nice man.. have a question.. I m using ATI scrubber.. its ok if I install klks also? & can u please tell me where I can get all these things wha u added & for the DT only add water ? Can u please explain it lil better way? Sorry man but lil confused 😕 😅
With kalk stirrer potency, did you still have to use a separate ato for water evaporated? I’m thinking of using my ato pump n push rodi into the Kalk Stirrer
Need your advice. My tank 240G and running Cr and media used rowalithW and ph out from cr was 6.2ph dosing 25ml per min and been running kalkwasser dose 600ml Perday still my tank ph stays at 7.8ph. How should I do? Increase kalk dosage? Cos my tank max evaporate only 500ml+ perday
Lmao 😆 that’s a lot of work making holes into your attic for what .5 change in PH. It’s cool idea been there done that on the outside of my house not much of a big difference.
@@FARMBOYREEF agreed when I saw all the fiberglass flying all over I was a little shocked myself. I run the icecap stirrer right now but I upgraded the output line size
Agree big time of all places to run it. Even outside we have to be careful. Neighbour is mowing the lawn, or if your having a bonfire dust gas fumes could get sucked in mowing the lawn. All kinds of stuff we have to watch out for. I know I am not running into my attic change out filters lol. Next we will see him hook up a Kalkwasser stir I bet you lol.
Bro I love that tank it’s going to look so good when it’s matured

Thank you ! That’s very true I will look into that.

Well done. I jusr bought some kalkwasser and im debating on how to implement it.
Corals are looking really nice Ryan. I was thinking of getting a kalk stirrer for my tank as well.
Thanks bud. I really
Like Kalkwasser seeing big changes.
Agreed. My Avast Kalkstirrer with Kamoer X1 doser is really helping maintain my PH. It’s def one of the best and proven methods imo as well. Cheers
That’s awesome 😎

Kalk has always been my go to. Nice.
Thanks 😊 works great doesn’t it.
Really coming along now mate
Thank you 🙏
nice tank buddy from a fellow Canadian im in ns
I totally thought you had a fish in the overflow until I realized it was the reflection from your hat!
Lol 😆 really

Hey mate. Hope you’re well. Haven’t seen the tank in a while. You still got it? An update would be awesome if you do.
Let's go to see the set up already dude
I was using kalkwasser but sadly my tank appears to use more alk than calcium so I now dose 2 part as I find it more controllable

That is not how it works
Sorry fam can't host Thanksgiving anymore farmboy said its bad for my reef tank. 😂
Lmao 😂 just for the ph
Looking good, did you have you graphs for PH before and after , thks

What about adding an air purifier or plants

Hi, still running your kalkwasser stirrer? Quick question, your stirrer spins 15 time a day but for how long?

I turned my calcium reactor right down to
The
Minimum. I am
Dosing 538 mill 10 times a day. I
My sucking everything right up.
What are the measurement of your tank
Does this apply to lps and soft coral as well?

Any new updates
Is it not affecting your Alk as well?
will extra oxygenating the water also raise the ph?
Why not make a co2 scrubber
Soda lime granulated Is cheap to buy
Because I don’t want to keep buying scrubber media. It doesn’t last long heat extinguished very fast.
Very true.
@@FARMBOYREEF one reactor full last me 3 weeks
I buy 5 litre of soda lime
For under 20 dollars
so you are running both
