I just got mine delivered today. Finally got to unpack and calibrate it. Mine is a bit noisy and humming.
In videos i can hear the rollers which i expected, but now i hear rollers and a hum/whine. Last edited by Dennio; 01/03/2019 at 11:41 PM. |

i kept getting all bubbles in the reactor after some time . does it mean it have too much co2 injected ?
Some thing like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcwhUSN8wt4 |

You either have a vacuum leak where you are sucking air in from a leak on the intake side of the system which can be anywhere if you are pulling through the reactors. You are sucking microbubbles in from the sump. Or you have too much Co2 going into the reactor for the effluent rate. I usually target about 6.65 ph in the reactor for media like Reborn and maintain a consistent flow rate that will keep the pH in that range without the controller having to shut the Co2 off. At about 6.65-6.7ph you should get excess gas.

So maybe a silly question, but what exactly are we supposed to do with the lube they provide? Does it go on the outside of the rollers? Outside of the tubing against the outer portion of head? Both?
And doesn't this Tygon tubing from US Plastics https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/it...d=25399&catid= match what is needed for the pharmed tubing? Last edited by billwill; 01/21/2019 at 10:23 PM. |

Finally changed out the tubing from the GB and it was pretty easy. Make sure you re-calibrate the pump after. I'm getting better flow after the change
Here's what old tubing and new tubing looks like. The pump has been in use for 8 months

I just changed my tubing also, after 53 weeks.
Now for the Litremeter, you don't want to know how long that has been. LONG OVERDUE!

Just picked one up! Following.
Any input on how many ml to start with would be great. Been using a feed pump and constant drip method for some time but looking to be much more precise with this pump. Just need somewhere to start. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Start where you are now---then tweak as needed.
You already know what you want to do.

I guess I’m not sure where I am. Since I’ve been running the drip method with constant flow from a sicce without measuring drops or bubbles then I’m not sure what my effluent would be. Only measure alk and have increased or decreased Ph in chambers accordingly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Then start @ 40 ml/min drip & 1 bubble/sec.
It is going to take a little time. Don't forget to calibrate the pump per instructions.

My system is 300 gal with quite a lot of SPS. Have not yet found the sweet spot (working through some pump issues as well) but I will report back when I finally have it settled. In the interim, I'd love to know what other people are using for effluent rate, effluent dkh, bubbles, and system specs. Thanks!!! |

Previous tank was 150 mixed reef. Kept ph at about 6.4-5 in reactor and alk st around 8
New tank setting up is a total of about 275 mostly sps. Not up and running yet but I need a starting point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Small update: Effluent rate is 30ml/min and pH is between 6.25 and 6.28. Effluent dkh was measured at 22.4 last night. Still too low but I'll test again tonight to see if it's holding. If not, I'll have to add a bit more CO2 and lower the Apex min pH to about 6.15. I'm using ARM by the way. What's everyone else using for media?

Keep it for a spare if it cleans up.
