what do you use to feed your Ca rx?

[james1990]

1) Tee off return

2) Dedicated pump (i.e maxijet)

3) Gravity fed

4) Peristaltic pump

fed off of return manifold, using a john guest fitting and a jg valve, works perfect.

Tapping off a Maxijet right now... have parts to connect to manifold. Haven't got around to swap it over.

Was using MTC, which you don't need to use manifold or additional pump. the reactor pump itself feeds the reactor but if i were to choose again, i might go with manifold feed, easier to feed reactor. For MTC if reactor is empty, you have to fill it to some point to start the reactor, so you litterally need to open the reactor by unscrewing 10 thousand screws.

empty as in without media or without water? So your saying in order to start the MTC there needs to be at least some water in the chambers to start the pump which then self feeds itself?

Empty as in, no water.....correct. And once in a while it some how losses suction, and empties the water from the chamber again.
