A Simple Way to Boost Calcium, Alkalinity & pH
Looking for an easier way to maintain stable parameters without jumping into a full calcium reactor setup?
The Reef Octopus KS150 Kalk Reactor is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve calcium, alkalinity, and pH all with minimal equipment and maintenance.
What Is a Kalk Reactor? (Simple Explanation)
A kalk reactor mixes kalkwasser (calcium hydroxide) with fresh water from your ATO (auto top off system).
As water evaporates from your tank:
- Your ATO replaces it
- The reactor adds kalkwasser automatically
Result:
- Calcium added
- Alkalinity supported
- pH naturally increases
All without daily dosing.
Why Choose a Kalk Reactor?
Simple setup
Low maintenance
No CO₂ tanks required
Helps raise pH naturally
