Due to their growth, corals and algae consume the calcium dissolved in the water. The deficit caused can be compensated by the use of a calcium dispenser filled with calcium hydroxide and water. Conventional plants consist of large tanks with stirrers used to keep the milk of lime in constant movement, which however are bulky, require a lot of maintenance, and are expensive.
TUNZE Aquarientechnik GmbH has developed an inexpensive device to be operated in combination with the Osmolator 3155 or Osmomat 5024, which is able to produce the kalkwasser that is discharged into the tank continuously at a constant pH value. Together with the constant water level regulator, the so-called Osmolator, consisting of a metering pump and a storage container, the ideal solution was found.
By means of a screw, the Calcium Dispenser 5074 is easily fitted to the storage container of the Osmolator, and is attached between the hoses.
