Hi all. I got a octo 220 calcium reactor.

I got it running but I'm noticing that after a few days the effluent dripping stops.

The chamber gets full of bubbles. But I suppose that's the co2 in the system.

I don't know what could be causing this problem. Is there a way to purge the system to make all the gas out out?

Thanks in advance.

Can you post pictures of your setup? What are you using to feed the reactor? How is that setup?

Finally got what was wrong. The hose that feeds the pump was clogged with algae.

Fix it and now it's working.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
