Default Reactor Finished

Update,

I tested my tank today and my calcium is up to 420 and Alk 10.6 I'm so happy, I was fighting to keep a calcium of 350-370 with the Kent Tech CB 2 part system, dosing 2 times per day for 2 months. Too much work!!! The reactor has been online for 3 weeks now.

I do have 1 problem. I get a great change in flow rate through the reactor some times. I don't know if the needle valve is pluging with debris or what. I did have to remove the check valve / quick connect I had installed in the line from my pump to the reactor.

I have T'd into the line that goes to my ETSS skimmer and use this pressure to give the flow through the reactor. I have noticed that the foam level has a very minor change in the flow on the flowmeter. Any thing I'm missing? I think I will try a dedicated powerhead and see what happens. What does everyone else use??

Also now that I have the system up I will put the media into the second chamber.
