How many times a day do you stir and for how long?
What would you say is a good amount of time to let the kalk drain into the tank?
Running the precision marine kalk reactor.

Thanks.

Are you using it in an ATO? Really depends on how much you use, I would say ''every 4 hrs for 2 min is good, for the duration of 24 hr period.'' put on a timer. Are you trying to maintain your alk and cal with it?

Yes, I M trying to maintain Ca and Alk, it is connected to my ATO. I will start with that and test often to make sure, and make any necessary adjustments.

I had a sealed/airtight kalkreactor, i stirred continuously with a maxijet 600. I added vinegar, which alllowed me to get a lot more kall supersaturated. The more you get in there without clumping, the longer you can go before refilling.
