Calcium reactor clogging issues

[Addicted2Coral]

Ok reefers, I Need input! I have a geo calcium reactor that keeps getting a clogged effluent in the needle valve. I'm doing a constant stream and it still clogs. I was just on vacation and I came back and sure enough, clog. What can I do to get these solids out? Should I put a pre filter in direct from pump? I notice the issue occurs when a co2 bubble gets trapped and then recirculates, causing solids to be disrupted in the CalRx. (There isn't much, but it's enough to be the issue I'm thinking). I'm beyond frustrated, I hope I can get some input. Second chamber? I'm at a loss right now. Thanks for any input!

How are you feeding the calcium reactor?

To avoid clogging, you can go with the fuel filter route... see @Abhishek ’s post # 17 & 19 in this thread...

Or you can ditch the needle valve altogether and get a continuous duty peristaltic pump. Lots of people seem to be using the fairly new Kamoer FX-STP pump.
