By utilizing a high-torque, low-RPM motor to stir calcium hydroxide (Kalkwasser) gently, the KS100 keeps the solution in a constant state of saturation. This motorized mixing is superior to traditional manual methods because it minimizes the solution's exposure to atmospheric CO2, which can quickly degrade limewater's potency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for aquariums up to 120 gallons, the Reef Octopus KS100 helps elevate and stabilize pH levels, which is vital for the growth of stony corals. The reactor's design ensures that undissolved Kalkwasser particles stay at the base of the unit, allowing only the clear, saturated liquid to be dosed into the aquarium. With its durable acrylic construction and space-saving 4-inch diameter, the KS100 is an essential tool for hobbyists seeking a stable and automated dosing regimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e• \u003cb\u003eMotorized Stirring Mechanism:\u003c\/b\u003e Employs a high-torque motor to ensure the kalk powder is evenly mixed without excessive turbulence. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003epH Enhancement:\u003c\/b\u003e Naturally raises and buffers aquarium pH levels to support calcification in corals. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eQuick-Connect Plumbing:\u003c\/b\u003e Features 1\/4-inch push-connect fittings for a fast and leak-free installation with standard RO tubing. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eSealed Reaction Chamber:\u003c\/b\u003e Prevents the entry of air to keep the Kalkwasser solution at maximum strength. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eHigh-Quality Acrylic Build:\u003c\/b\u003e Constructed from heavy-duty, hand-polished acrylic for long-term reliability. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eSafety Thumb Screws:\u003c\/b\u003e The lid is secured with oversized thumb screws for easy access during media refills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Small reef tanks and nano aquariums up to 120 gallons requiring mineral supplementation. \u003cbr\u003e• Hobbyists dealing with low pH levels who want an automated way to buffer their system. \u003cbr\u003e• Systems where space is limited and a compact vertical reactor is preferred over large reservoirs. \u003cbr\u003e• Advanced reefers using a controller to manage precise, small-volume dosing intervals. \u003cbr\u003e• Aquarists looking for a cost-effective alternative to multi-part liquid dosing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Attention： Stirrer must be set to operate for 5 minutes every 2 hours using a timer. Do NOT run the unit continuously. Continuous operation may cause damage or reduce the lifespan of the equipment. \u003cem\u003eThe Kalk Stirrer uses a 20watt motor that has a lifetime of about 1500 hours.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reef Octopus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50484002947320,"sku":"OCT-KS100","price":392.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/6909\/5160\/files\/a025e70311ff026c6caa6f63e0fc7644.jpg?v=1789093012","url":"https:\/\/www.blueearthaquariums.com\/products\/octo-ks100-kalkwasser-reactor","provider":"Blue Earth Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
