Just set up my first Calcium Reactor - Chamber flow?

M

ms71171

I just set up a Korallin CR with Milwaukee regulator and PH controller.

I have it set to 10 bubbles per minute and 40 drips effluent.

My CaribSea ARM media is not bubbling like I thought it would. I see flow through it, but thought it would be more turbulent.

I have it fed with a Microjet 606 pump and has the orginal Eheim reactor circulation pump.
 
You won't see any motion at all through the ARM. It sits there perfectly still.

This is a very old video of mine, and the motion you do see in the reactor is the plastic disk spinning above the media, which is how Lifereef Calcium Reactors are built.
