I agree with raising the pump draw level. The wife's tank only runs kalk as a top up with the aqua lifter pump. It draws 2 inches up from the bottom of the container. Also I don't use the prefilter and never had a problem with clogging.

So i fill up about every 4 days with a new batch of kalk, do i need to clean the bottom of my ato bin, as there is a lot of white stuff on the bottom, or can i just add my 5g of ro water with new kalk to it

Don't understand you don't use the pre filter in the aqua-lifter pump, do i have to take a part out from my pump

You could buy or build a Nilson Reactor.
