Thanks again, I drop further thoughts of using this Dosing feeder.
The reason for bringing up this topic was the claim at RE web:

"Suitable for trace elements (micronutrients, mirco elements), Balling system, lime water, etc."

My conclusion is that for lime water this is not true.

I attach a picture of my Dreambox, on the right side at the very back you may see the Deltec KM500 which is a perfect kalkstirrer.

What I wish is that I can place a kalkstirrer inside the sump in front and to the left of the skimmer. At the picture there is a zeoreactor at that spot, but this is only temporary.
I would like to use that free space at right for a Deltec PF501 calciumreactor, which so far is not in use.

As mentioned if a kalkstirrer not higher than the sump, the KM500 is 48 cm high, could be used I could also use the last Dreambox lid to keep everything nice and tidy.
