MRC Nilsen Kalk Reactor - Standard NR-2

Nilsen Reactors

Simply put, MRC has brought the Nilsen (limewater) reactor to the 21st Century.  Using a powerful, external pump, the mixing is accomplished in a much more reliable way. These pumps are far more reliable and durable than internal pumps or stirring mechanisms often found in the market.

 

Universal

Implementation has never been simpler. Add your favorite Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)₂ powder and plug into any aquarium controller or timer and you’re all set.

 

Capacity

With 3 different models, there’s a reactor to suite your needs. Want to go longer between serving? Go with a larger reactor. Have a smaller system or don’t mind more frequent refills, go with a smaller unit. There’s really no wrong answer.

 

Precision

Kalkwasser (kalk) is the easiest and least expensive Calcium and Alkalinity solution in the hobby, leaving more money in your pocket for hot corals.

 

Detail

Not only does Kalk help maintain a higher overall pH level to optimize calcification in corals, it also precipitates phosphates, helping you in the fight against algae.
