Air trapped in Canreef Ca Reactor

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I have a canreef Ca reactor which for the past 3 months has been working great, but I may now have a bit of a problem....

-The pump is now making a constant, rapid clicking sound.

-There seems to be air getting into the reactor somehow. My co2 bubble count is steady at 8/min, so it's not excess co2. In the 3/8" hose that goes from the pump to the bulkhead (Jaco Tee 2), There are now hundreds of little air bubbles. These air bubbles are now present in the main reactor chamber

-The are also larger almost constant airbubbles in the hoses coming from Holes Jaco 3, and Jaco 2 on the top plate (The hoses that go into Jaco Tee 1, which is on top of the bubble counter).

-Finally, the PH of the effluent is slowly rising.

Has anyone else had the condition? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
