Reactors leaking

[larisa Raykh]

Anyone having a problem of two little fishes 150 reactor leaking from the lid? If so, do you know how to fix it? One of mine always leaked in the beginning but stopped after a day and was good until I open it again, but yesterday started leaking without anybody touching it ..how do you deal with that?

Little fishes reactors are notorious for leaking gfo out into water column. Which then gets stuck onto pump magnets and causes friction/heat
Do yourself a favor and get rid of it, or only use it for carbon

I used silicone lube on the o ring . Had no problems with fish or coral

It's not gfo, its water sipping from under the lead .

If you don'tont mind, where did you buy it?

Doesn’t have to be silicone.
You can use a lil spit. Just need a lil lube to stop the rubber from grabbing and halting your spin to get it tight.

But that has not to do with gfo exiting the reactor and making its way to pump magnets
