MTC Mini Calcium Reactor Valve leaking Help

[Xclusive Reef]

I have a used MTC Mini Calcium Reactor and the Needle Valve is leaking. Anyone know what is the size of the Needle Valve I need to get?

MTC used silicone to seal threads, which works fine until it gets twisted then the seal breaks. It may be that all you need to do is remove the nylon elbow, pick off the silicone and use some Teflon tape. Believe the needle valve is 1/4” NPT.

the needle valve looks to be cracked. I did not notice it when I got it and it was fine until today. can I just connect the elbo straight to the calrx chamber? the needle valve is really not doing much, I don't use it as I have a kamoer.

Then bypass the valve.

Yes direct connect to the Kamoer.
That's how I did it. No problems
