So right now my aqualifter takes straight H2O and dumps it into my little overflow box (no sump, it just pumps up to a fuge and gravity returns).
I was thinking about adding kalk to the setup and came up with this idea:
say overflow box height = 11", max water height (powerloss) 11.75"
~.5" PVC pipe, ~12.5"
~1" pvc pipe, 12"
1" pvc cap
Cut out a section of the wall of the .5" pipe for about 1" at the "bottom" end.
Cap bottom end of 1" pipe, fill with X amount of kalk powder
Put .5" pipe into 1" pipe, cut side down.
Place entire setup into overflow box and lash appropriately, do not allow to lean against working side of overflow box.
aqualifter as usual from reservoir into .5" pipe (should be sticking out above the 1" pipe, which should be well above water level in overflow box). water flows from aqualifter to .5" pipe, through/above settled kalk paste, then up&out 1" pipe.
Sound good? Let me know what you guys think.
