冰盖磁Kalkwasser圣irrer is a type of kalkreactor which could make dosing kalkwasser cool again. Dosing a solution of calcium hydroxide is one of the oldest ‘methods’ in reef keeping so any device that can streamline that process is a very welcome on the reef scene.
Although we all know that kalkwasser is great for raising calcium and keeping a high pH, it’s not all that practical to dose it to our aquariums on a regular basis. There are many different kinds of kalkwasser reactors in the hobby, but it’s been along自从我们看到磁性搅拌的kalkreactor以来的时间。
Interestingly, a magnetic kalkstirrer is the first product that Ecotech Marine ever put together and while you can still see a unit or two kicking it around their offices, the device was never fully commercialized. So the concept is ripe for a comeback and it will join a suite of other magnetically stirred devices introduced in the hobby in recent months.
我们在MacNA上发现的磁性搅拌的磁性搅拌的kalkReactor只是一个原型,但是一个工作看起来很适合原型。它可能没有珊瑚礁常规搅拌器的同样的幻想和防水磁性电动机设计,但是电动机和磁性搅拌器棒具有使Kalkwasser的溶液具有光自旋的能力。
Perhaps the most exciting feature of the IceCap Magnetic Kalkreactor is the attached controller, which is more or less the same as the controller we’ve seen in a myriad of DC controlled pumps. With this controller, IceCap could integrate not only the timer functions of the stirring, but also the dosing functions of a peristaltic dosing pump.
Some kind of synergy between the stirrer and doser could really put dosing kalkwasser on the map again, and in this regard the IceCap Kalkreactor seems prime to accomplish this. Alas the model we spent time with at MACNA was the only prototype so it’ll probably a while still until we see this device get an official release.
