![]() I added my reactor in late April, noticed a huge improvement in algae, cleaning glass every 3 days. I cleaned the glass yesterday, got home from work today, needed to do it again. I noticed my gfo isn't tumbling, adjust the valve and it barely moved. I also noticed the connections don't seem sealed or tight going into the reactor, and there's lots of leaking. I don't think it makes sense to put plumbing tape on the connections as its probably easier to disconnect the hoses to remove the reactor. Any suggestions?

![]() Are the threads leaking or the tubing?

![]() If you are running the dual, are you running carbon in the other reactor?, the carbon side could be plugged.
If you are running the cobalt maxi-jet pump, check the impellar, the vanes break off.

![]() Chrck the foams and the carbon section, if they are plugged it will cause a lpt of back pressure and strain the joints.

![]() Yes there's carbon in the other chamber. I will pull it all out and make sure nothing is plugged up. I have tape as well, if that helps, will give it a try. Thanks for the help!

![]() I'm sure you are already aware, but, just in case ...
If you decide to change some media while you have it apart, don't do both at the same time |
