Okay, sorry, I must have been drinking to make a spelling error. . A rector is some kind of a church official, which has nothing to do with a kalk reactor.

However, I thought kalk and calcium was the same thing. I don't use the stuff, so I am sorry if I am wrong.

So back to the original question. If you don't have corals why do you use kalk

Interesting. I haven't seen many people run a larger tank with T5's.

Have you run them before?
