Re: [APD] External co2 Reactors/Flow Reduction

Hi RJ,

So you were using a noisy powerhead...
Have you considered running your external reactor with a different 
powerhead?
I am using a powerhead to feed my external CO2 reactor (Tom Barr's old 
model).  A Rio 800 that came with it became so noisy with a slight amount of 
a head pressure that I replaced it with a small Via Aqua pump.  It's been 
running well and "silently" for a year and a half now.  The only annoying 
thing about it is that I have to spank it a few times after I do a water 
change.  It appears to become air locked while exposed to air.  Despite the 
abuse I give, it's been a great help to me.  It's a lot cheaper than 
upgrading your canister filter.
