It's working ok. But I have ran into a problems a few times. The pump's ceramic shaft and impeller broke. I had to replace the pump.
The effluent would sometimes stop because of CO2 build up in the reactor. That causes the CO2 to continue be pumped into the reactor as the PH keeps rising in the effluent cup.
I had the media turn into mush many times. I am using the bleed valve for the effluent flow already. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Is there some way I can dial it to be more worry free?

It's not fun dealing with those pests. I am battling pyramid snails now. They are such PITA. Already lost 1 clam to them and they are onto my other 2 now.
Last night I hand picked over 30 tiny little ones from one clam. Who knows how many more are there.
I am afraid I'll lose the other 2 clams. It's very discouraging.
