Hey All,
Well, I finally got my reeftek calcium reactor and I am very happy with it. I had Jorge do a new mod, which he tells me that he really likes and he's putting it on all the new units he ships. It's fairly simple and you could easily do it yourself. Anyways, the mod is basically putting the valve directly on the output of the recirculating pump. The flow/water first comes out the output, flows into a T PVC fitting, with the SMC valve screwing into the end of the T (straight part) and then then the other end of the T (perpendicular to the straight part) recirculating back into the calcium reactor.
With this mod, it also may make my "no-feed" pump approach very viable, as I've got a steady flow rate and I only need the one recirculating pump to feed and recirculate (no heavy pressure on the pump). Of course I'm just water testing and have no media in it as of yet, but I don't think it should effect it so much.
Peace,
John H.
