I think you are mistaken, look at the Geo reactor; it uses the same method to output the effluent. If it was a problem with the design, it would be happening on every system. I have not had the problem at all.
This problem with the effluent stability apparently affects almost if not all calcium reactor designs. It happens on some systems, but not in all so I think it has to be something that is beyond the manufacturerââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s control. One is the installation (powerhead, gravity, t-ing off, level with sump, above sump below sump, etc.), second the media being used. IMO it is a problem inherent to every reactor, I already posted a few threads where people were having the same issue on many different brands.
You have not experienced this problem before with other reactors, but were you feeding the reactor with a minijet from a HOT filter?
