Calcium reactor circulation pump question
Hello fellow reefers
I have a MRC dual chamber calcium reactor that has a blue line/Pan World 10PX 180gph as a circulation pump. My question to you all is do you think the reactor would function better if I replace the current pump with one that has an output of 750gph(cause I have one collecting dust)? The reason im thinking about this is with the current pump the water doesn't seem to be circulating the first chamber as much as I'd like. I am seeing excess c02 bubbles in the chamber which is not what I'm supposed to be seeing. Your thoughts? John aka jtspeedy21 Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk |

I have the dual chamber MTC ProCal. It originally came with the blueline 20. I decided to swap in a 10PX to reduce electricity draw. CaRx worked just as well. The issue was that the 10PX only lasted about 18'months before burning itself up. Maybe just a bad unit, dunno, but I went back to the 20.

Trapped gas is not due to the circulation pump. Probably dumping too much gas too fast.
