First timer Kalk Reactor user HELP

[Dtech07]

I just picked up a two little fishes KW Reactor 300 I'm using mrs. Wages pickling lime (used with DIY reactor successfully) but was wondering how much pickling line should be used in a reactor this size???

 

[Dtech07]

Oh total tank volume is 120 sps heavy. Currently I have 1/2 a cup in the reactor now but wanted to ask before connecting to my ATO system.

As long as it is able to stir OK and not send solids into the outlet stream, the exact amount of solids is not that important (which is good because it will decline over time).

FWIW, the advertising for that product says 1 cup max.

That makes a lot of since I was concerned about concentration for amount used but I only used 1/4-1/3 a cup.

Thanks Randy I'll set it up and take some reading to SE how this concentration works. It to high I'll reduce by half if to low increase by a 1/4.
