Guess I should’ve given the old taste test to determine if it’s salt creep. That’s my thought since it is setup horizontally with ports at the side not at the top, gate valve is before entry and flow is pretty slow. Thinking of either increasing flow rate or place valve after the exit.
My buddy changed his bulb and found a huge amount of build up on the quartz sleeve. It was soft but too thick to break off by hand, so used bone cutter to gently remove. The big chunks mostly dissolved in tap water. Anyone have a guess of what is the precipitate and the cause?
Do you have a link to the co2 reactor? Also, how does it raise ph? When I think of co2 reactor, I think of those in fw planted tanks used to dissolve co2 into the water.
