Kalk reactors for swap

Anyone interested in buying a kalk reactor? I made several for the LMAS swap, and several didn't sell.

They are made of 1/8" wall extruded acrlyic, 2' tall reactor body. Each has a new Maxijet 400 for mixing...

I can post photos if anyone is interested. I would probably sell at cost just to get them out of the basement, $30 or so.

I've already committed to one or I'd be joining you guys in purchasing one ;) BUT, I did find what seems to be the perfect timer for a kalk reactor. And you can get it at ReefGeek! :D

Up to 14 times a day it will turn on for a minimum of one minute... perfect! I'm getting one for my will be new kalk reactor so I don't have to waste a space on my Aquatronica. :)

Just thought I'd share. Not only do I want to hit 9%, but it really is the perfect timer. :D

Wow, I didn't expect that many responses.....but I only have two ready now, of the same measurements as listed above.

If I can find the correct O Ring, I can have another shorter, but larger diameter reactor ready this week. 3.75" diamter, 14 or 16 inches tall.

I would like one for sure if I am in order to get one based on responses earlier. I am going to be at the swap next weekend if you want to sell it to me then or I can paypal now so you know I am serious, either way. IF I am in line for one that is.

Height of both - If I had another Coke can (my wife is a Coke addict), it would be about 4 cans tall.....

Questions? Comments?

I can make more if people are interested....and I can change the design some what as well. I probably wouldn't be able to build any before the frag swap though, it takes about eight hours for me to build one.

Thanks crumbletop :) Every peice was made by hand......two power tools were used, an electric drill, and a saw, everything else is done by hand.

Those do look nice! Where do you get your acrylic?

Jack... yours is not to be overlooked, either. I was going to build one like yours until I found a used one. :)

The acrylic tube comes from a shop in Louisville, and the flat peices for the base and two flanges come from Lowes or Home Depot.

Jack - that is a pretty cool idea! nice work yourself!

I forgot to mention - I'll have these at the LMAS table.

I'll also bring a couple bags of pure calcium (for making two part), and maybe a couple frags.....some wagon wheel type green mushrooms, and some nice zoos that have chocolate brown skirts, with mint green centers.
