Hi
I have a newly setup Reef Octopus Calcreact150 as per Youtube Videos and looking for some ways to purge the air from the system as there is a lot of whooshing noise.
Looking at other Reef2Reef threads I have not turned on the CO2 as yet and all valves (apart from CO2 recirculating) are fully open.
Reactor is being Fed from a Return Pump Tee.
Varios2 Recirc pump is set to full
CO2 Recirculating Valve is fully closed.
Top of the Reactor is about a metre above the sump in a cabinet. Sump is remote from the tank
Effluent line is about 1.5mtrs long into the sump with no needle valve installed.
I can see air bubbles under the upper filter pad but no amount of banging on the side of the reactor appears to move them.
I have Caribsea Arm Extra Large Media
Should I just let it run like this for 24 hours or more ?
Some guidance would be very much appreciated.
Regard, Andrew
