Kalk Reactors:BAS is not currently building skimmers, but does have some spare parts in stock. A Kalk reactor is a great way to keep Calcium levels up in your reef tank. Depending on your bio load and water usage, you will need to open the unit and add more Kalk every few weeks to every few months. A good source of Kalk powder is 'Ms. Wages Pickling Lime' from the grocery store. These units use a magnetic stirrer, so there is no wear on an impeller like pump based models. The Kalk reactor takes fresh water and mixes it up with Calcium Hydroxide to make a saturated solution. This solution is then dripped in to your tank as your sole source of make-up water. The calcium in this solution is critical for the strong growth of stony corals, clams, and other critters that use the calcium for building shells and skeletons. Units come complete with the Magnetic stirrer, 1/4" speed-fit connections, and the twist-lock cap. Each unit uses a low-profile UHMW pad at the bottom of the chamber, that should never need replacing, although replacement pads are available. Features:

Setup tips:
Filling up: Twist the cap 1/4 turn and remove. Spoon in more Kalk powder with a Teaspoon. Twist-lock the cap back on and you are done! No messing with the plumbing lines just to refill.
