So my reactor keeps getting air in it and I can't figure put why. The inlet is feed by siphon which is about 8 inches under water ( never had issues with siphon before)

It could be excess co2? Korallin has a vent line. I leave mine cracked open at about 10 drops a minute so any excess bleeds off.

Mine is fed off my return pump
 
I would also guess that it's extra CO2. Do you have a controller or regulator for it or do you just use the bubble counter?
 
Bubble counter and I'm at a bubble every 6 seconds. I could hook up the vent to drip every 10 sec like you said. Any other segestions? I've never had any issues and I haven't changed anything and now this is a daily problem
 
Only other thing could be the siphon feed. It is easier to run with a pump


Try the vent or shut the gas off and see if air pocket comes back

I found running a feed pump is more reliable too. At 1 every six seconds you shouldnt be getting a CO2 build up . I'm out of suggestions since I dont have that kind of reactor. Good luck.
