Avast Marine Works K1 "You Build" Kalkwasser Stirrer.

[TH3C1SC0K1D]

I received my Avast Marine Works K1 "You Build" Kalkwasser Stirrer today and it definitely has more pieces than the Avast Marine Works MR5 "You Build" Media Reactor which meant more fun! It took me about 2 hours to put it together since there is more time required for the glue to dry accordingly (I also made a mistake of not aligning the Motor Chamber Wire director in front of the Probe Holder which made for an extremely snug fit for the exiting wires which I could correct because the glue had already settle before I noticed). But as always the Avast Marine Works equipment did not disappoint. The build quality is amazing (I built it, LOL) and pretty straight forward. I definitely would recommend this over any Kalkwasser Stirrer on the market for overall ease of construction, build quality, price point and customer service provided by Justin of Avast Marine Works! Unfortunately one sticker was damaged in transit but Justin is sending a replacement which is why you don't see the logo on the unit in my photographs.

I definitely will. I am waiting for some additional equipment to arrive before I set it up completely.

Thanks for the pics and review! Chatted with Justin via email today, will be ordering mine tomorrow. Will you be running the Aqualifter as your ATO as well? Love the Avast Marine bag and love the American Flag on their products even more.

P.S. Nice Alienware rig M11x?

No problem at all. I will be running an Aqualifter. I ordered it and it arrived yesterday. Just waiting on a few more pieces before I set everything up. And yes, that is the M11x. It was an early birthday gift for my wife. We are also gamers!

Tell me about it. I'm trying so hard to resist ordering the Avast Marine Work Black Pearl Protein Skimmer. The only thing stopping me is my space restrictions as I do not have enough room in my little 10 gallon sump to accommodate it.

Rewiring of the Avast Marine Works K1 "You Build" Kalkwasser Stirrer.

So as per the instructions in the manual I decided to rewire the motor as instructed this morning. It didn't take to long at all and it looks so much better now!
