gogators Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 O.k., so I'm a newbie to this reactor and been having some difficulties with getting the bubble count set. It's a PM calcium reactor, and I'm trying to get it set for around 40/ minute. I bought this used and am wondering if it's an equipment issue, or it's just me (scratch), so when I get it down to around 40 bubbles/min, it works for about 30 seconds, then it goes to tiny micro bubbles that don't form into a larger bubble. It just streams these tiny bubbles. Has anyone else experienced this issue? My effluent line is running around 60 drops/minute. I'm a rookie and could use some advice?? If I let it run faster the bubbles seem to form without any issue, I just don't have the tank load that needs that high a volume right now. I'm also probably doing a horrible job explaining my problem DOH! Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate213 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I have the same issue with my PM reactor. There was a thread about this a few months back. I'll try to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVPaquatics Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Shouldnt matter as long as effluent and tank levels check out. CO2 is the same with big bubble or little. Dont be too concerned if levels keep checking out ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
