Jose,

Great article last month - I've been running a Calcium Reactor for a few years and still learned a ton from that article.

Since reading it I ordered one of the needle valves from US Plastics, which was a VERY worthwhile purchase. Made my problems regulating the effluent rate a thing of the past.

I also ordered and just received one of the Gilmont flow meters you recommended. Looking at it, there is no obvious way to get it connected to John Guest fittings. Do you have any recommendations for easy adapters to get this thing plumbed in-line with standard 1/4" tubing?

Thanks,
Les Douglas
