DIY kalk dripper - where to get airline valve kit?

[gnatp2]

Hey trying to find an airline valve kit. I basically am making a DIY Kalk dripper and want a nice way to regulate the drip rate. Anyone know where I can pick one up in Manhattan? Thanks,
Nate

Try any petco or petland

All you need is a airline ball valve - you shouldmake sure the valve is NOT at the bottom of the hose as the kalk will accumulate and restrick the drip - I would put it right at the bend -

They are like $3 most at PLD or Petco.

Hope that helps

Do not install the airline valve on tubing where the kalk leaves the bottle. Put it on the other tube that lets air into the bottle. I use the same setup, but with the addition of a timer and air pump to dose my tank with kalk, calcium and alk.
