bubble magus cr100wp or similar calcium reactor (instruction manual)

[The Opinionated Reefer]

Does anybody have the instructions for the bubble magus cr100wp or similar calcium reactor?

I have just set it up and got it running with no co2 being injected but it's full of air bubbles. How do you purge the air bubbles?

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?

I got the instruction manual but it is poorly translated gibberish from china. This is what happens after a few hours of use :

I must be doing something wrong!

that looks like a lot of air being recirculated by the pump. it must be sucking air from somewhere. I never had to purge my carx, I am not sure if some models need that.

I am injecting co2. That video was after a few hours of use.

I am starting to think that it is air from outside the reactor that is getting in but i cannot find the leak.

Did you solved the problem?

Nope! That is how it is designed to run. The c02 builds up at the top of the reactor and is recirculated through the pump continually to make it more efficient but as it's a cheap reactor they have done nothing about the noise it causes. The only soultion is to have a really high effluent flow rate that stops so much co2 build up. I got rid of the reactor
