If you have it hooked to a controller it makes it even easier (a ca reactor) to dial in. I just set it so that if ph in the reactor is greater than 6.8, then turn co2 on, and if it's less then 6.7 turn it off. Then I really don't care as to what the bubble count of my CO2 is at. Hope this helps. I found it easiest also to T off my return pump a 1/4" flexible hose to feed the reactor. I used to gravity feed but I found that after a few months it would get clogged. Hope this helps.

now that sounds really easy to setup after spending $$$.

anyone tried or heard anything about Vertex reactor? Looks fancy from the picture.

Not sure about there ca reactor, but the Zeo reactor and media reactors are really well built.
