Wave Maker as Kalk Stirrer

[Dav2996]

Would a wave maker in a 5gallon ATO be good to stir kalk? Also what commands could you use to do this with apex?

Kalkwasser is REALLY harsh on pumps. For something this size, I wouldn't recommend it.

I do something similar, but it's because I needed a 35g container of Kalkwasser. The pump I use is also only $10 and replaced easily.

For 90% of tanks, I wouldn't do it.

Only quoting for emphasis here…
some impellers wobble/stick in short order …
same is true for pumps in kalk based ATO’s

Darn I have been dosing Kalk in my 20 gallon for a long time love it. I need to dose and use kalk currently.
