    I don't understand. The water is always flowing slowly. Too much flow will put CO2 into the tank.
    I may have not been clear the maxijet is pumping water from the sump into the reactor the blueline pump is recirculating the water and the C02 inside the reactor and the effluent is controlled by a valve which can be dialed in to what I want the drip rate to be.
    Yeah I figured there would have to be some sort of control on the end of the effluent and its in my plans. 8)

    Ok Brian, from your maxijet 1200 taking water from the sump to the reactor, do you have a check valve inline? Is there a worry that the water will back flow from the reactor through line coming from the sump(like overdosing in the event that the feeding pump fails?)?? I guess this would happen if you are not using a controller (just a needle valve and bubble counter) and the CO2 would keeping dosing the reactor and spilling into the tank prematurely before it mixes properly with the media. If that makes any sense... :unsure

    I guess it would be a safe guard if someone does not use a controller....
