Vertex RX-C 6D + Kamoer FX-STP: Bubble trapped

[CivicS14]

Hi All,

I use to have my Vertex plumped into a sicce 1.0 that fed my carbon & gfo reactor and never had issues with air being trapped in this reactor because I could run it wide open and it would clear in a few minutes if it ever did happen.

Now, I added a Kamoer FX-STP pump to get a consistent flow rate and I can't seem to get the air out of the reactor. Before, I can run it wide open and it would clear the air, but with the kamoer and 120ml/min max flow, it seems like it's not enough flow to clear it.

Any suggestions or inputs? This loud gurgling noise is driving me insane.

Anyone have this same setup? I even ran it at the full 120 ml/min co2 off for a day and nothing...

You can always pop the line at the top of the reactor to purge the air. I feed mine off my manifold with a steady high flow drip back into my sump and adjust the ph with a controller to vary the output. my air bubbles from the co2 tank isnt as important t that way and the air(co2) wont get trapped bc its moving at a higher rate.
