Sounds to me like C02 accumulating in the reactor... not a bad thing as that is what lowers Ph to dissolve the media... U may need to slow the gas bubble rate or increase the water flow through the reactor depending on your effluent water pH and the calcium and alkalinity levels in your tank ... My personal experience with running a calcium reactor is I always had to set the drip rate of effluent water a bit higher than I wanted it to end up as it seem to slow down over the next day or two

I have had this reactor for a while and have battled this issue ever since i bought it. Every night or every second night i have to try and get rid of the bubbles and if i let it accumulate, it slows down my effluent drip rate.
I thought i might have been getting micro bubbles from my sump but i even tried putting the pump into a filter sock to prevent any bubbles going through, and i still get the bubbles.
any idea? its a precision marine 622 reactor fed by a maxijet.
