Calcium Reactor question

[johnnydoe]

what do yous think about the Lifereef Calcium Reactor the smaller one i belive its called the LC1 . im in the market for a good reactor . one that wont keep getting jamed up .

 

[johnnydoe]

well no replys yet ok lets put it this way , what do you have and does it get jamed up ?

Geo 612. Great reactor. They get jammed up because the pH is too low or they dont have good screens in place.

GEO makes a quality reactor, I run the 624 on my 110.

overall, I would jamming is more an operation problem than a design problem. As stated by Henry Bowman said, when the pH gets too low, the media becomes destabilized, and turns to "mud", which jams the unit. No matter what brand you have, this principal applies. Some media may be better at staying stable than others, but I believe it is all in how you set it up, and operate the equipment. By the way, I run a MRC CR-2 with spray bar. No flaws.
