So then..........in terms of the kalk (stirrer vs reactor), for the million dollar prize gentlemen,.........is the better option?????? or is that again like "how long is a piece of string???"

Thanks, I will consider myself slightly better educated now. My God this is a long road!! And on the really easy stuff too.

Thanks Tony, got that. But what I am getting at, is that different manufacturers show a calcium reactor, a kalkwasser reactor and a kalk stirrer. So I am trying to get the pea brain around the kalkwasser stirrer and kalkwasser reactor bit.

Thanks Guys Now for the stupid question time................................ What is the difference between a kalk reactor and a kalk stirrer??

Hi Folks could anyone advise if there is a website to view the reefoctopus product range?

Just got to love these guys!!! :peroni::peroni::peroni:

Hi Crispin Haven't made my mind up yet as to exactly what I want yet, but probably a bit of a mixed reef. I still need a lot more experience for SPS. I am putting that decision off, because once I make that decision, it is difficult to focus on the set up. I seriously lack patience!! :peroni:

Progress ?? Well, some progress.....even though it feels incredibly slow!! Aragonite purchased ( Ouch!!), and DSB in place. A dust storm of note! Must be seeded now. Finally plumbed (permanent....not cable ties and clear tubing) the skimmer in place. Looking cool, but that may be a slightly...

I started my journey in the marine hobby some 4 or 5 years ago, probably the same way many of you have....so you can probably relate to this ? After many years of wanting a marine setup, but for one reason or another, not getting my crap together, it just never happened. So when I finally made...

Well finally I have commenced on the "latest" attempt in marine tank hobby. From the title you can gather that this has been a long and steady learning curve, and you too will notice that I am one of those characters who is never satisfied with things, and am constantly looking at ways to...

Hi folks, just getting back into the hobby after being dormant for a couple of years. So will post every so often on progress, as well as tag along and re learn the basics. :peroni:
