Knop CA reactor running dry

[dhuynh]

Does anyone else have problems with their Knop CA reactor? Mine keeps running dry and killing my Eheim.

Is your feed pump providing enough water to the reactor? Possibly your drip rate is faster than the feed pump? Or you are adding too much C02 causing a air pocket? Just a couple problems that I had with my Korallin.

I might be adding too much CO2 then. One bubble every 3-4 seconds. I think I'll take the reactor apart and clean it and see what happens.

The regulator on the CO2 sucks. It's hard to adjust a stable CO2 flow.

Dannyboys is picking up my PFO HQI when he gets back.

I have or will have the following for sell soon:

- PFO 250W SE w/ big pendant
- PFO 400W SE w/ retro reflectors
- 2xPFO 250W SE w/ retro reflectors
- AquaMedic 250W DE w/ pendant (low profile, and about use for about 2 months)

I'm waiting for my 16xTek T5s to come in first to see if I like it.
