You know...my CO2 consumption is not that high. I only have a 10lb tank and it lasts me for 6 months or a year. My current reactor is running at pH 6.4. If I attempt to push more CO2 in than that, the media just turns to mush.

If I attempt to push more water through the existing reactor (more than 70ml/min), the output of the reactor starts to go down and the effluent pH gets really low. (You start flushing CO2 right through the system before it has had adequate time to react to the media)
