Default aqua medic 1000

what is the best pump for this co2 reactor, i have it underneath my 110g tank, right now i have a 500g pump with a diy co2 reactor hook up frist then into the aqua medic then to the return pump then out thru a 300g hydro heater, my diy reactor stays nice in full but the aqua medic i have to keep purge it because the water lowers down,i have a lot of tiny bubles in the tank, should i put a smaller pump insted of the 500g pump, an should i take a air line to the purger and tee it back into the aqua medic, i can hook it into my diy co2 reactor it has a 1/8 brass hose barr tapp into it already, any ideas pleas

Try hooking the air line to the Reactor 1000 and "T" it back into either of your reactors.

You could also run the line from the Reactor 1000 directly to the output of your filter. It will give you some bubbles out of your output but that may not be a bad thing.

Do a search for CO2 mist and you should come up with a thread or two on that subject. The bubbles out of the output may not be such a bad idea

I'm using a MagDrive 350gph to run the AM 1000 on my 125 gal tank.
