How are you running your ca reactor?

If so, I thought you meant the needle valve on the Co2 regulator.. That is what I meant..

Yeah that's the one. I have the carbon doser regulator should I also run a needle valve with that? The only reason I thought about adding the valve to the effluent is I've seen a lot of people said the stock valve was to small .

I have a MRC-6 dual chamber reactor. Running the supply off of my return pump as I pictured above. I have a Tunze 7077/3 regulator. I also have a Tunze 7074 solenoid valve, but have not hooked it up yet as my PH has been pretty steady. According to my Apex my PH has fluctuated between 6.82-6.86 the last week.

I more control the rate of water going into my reactor from the return line than the rate of the effluent coming out.

From what I understand of that regulator(the carbon doser), you need not make any changes to it, as I have read(and if someone has one, they can correct me), that for an out of the box regulatory system, for our tanks, that's supposed to be the best..

And yes, the stock(tlf type) valves are small, and a bit of a pain to adjust.. At least to me, add my fingers are big..

right on i didnt think i would need one on the co2 but wanted to change the output valve.
