I have had a MTC for my last two tanks and I love it. Here is a vid I did on the unit.

If you have to open the valve to release co2, then you are probably pumping in too much. When was the last time you calibrated your ph probe? I had a similar problem, found out my ph probe was off a bit. Once I calibrated the probe, it was good to go
Not CO2, the clamp that controls the drip of effluent into the sump.
Nice setup. What is that gauge on top of the reactor?MTC has my vote.
I am using geo with plant.com regulator and 5lbs co2
You'll be very happy with this setupPretty much what I am getting the Geo with the Carbon Doser from Aquarium Plants
That fella was me. Been running calcium reactors for years, and never had a problem dialing them in. I think the people that use those variable speed pumps never had the reactor setup correctly. A peristaltic pump may be easier, but it's absolutely not necessary. Just my opinion.You'll be very happy with this setup
Regardless of what that one fella posted about a peristaltic pump being overkill, my guess would be that he's never used one lol. Trust me, it makes all the difference in the world! All the control and ability to dial things in of 2 part dosing, but with the foundation and trace element dosing of a calcium reactor. Much safer than 2 part dosing as well.

Just wondering. What was the reactor not doing correctly before you added the variable speed pump?Yes it is [emoji106]

I saw those! They are some beefy looking reactors lol! Certainly not cheap.Bill Wann is building some nice looking reactors now, just FYI...

Do you understand how the whole float switch deal works? That's pretty interesting.The latest as of today.!
