No other consequences. Your hypothesis is correct. Raising your effluent rate will reduce contact time and increase the ph of the reactor. Which will lower the amount of supplement it provides. Your alkalinity in your tank will start to gradually fall

I'm having trouble finding a good Masterflex on ebay for a reasonable price, so I started looking for an alternative.
Has anyone tried the Kamoer FX-STP? https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...021561158.html It looks like a pretty nice unit for the price, even though it is Chinese made. From reading this thread, it looks like most people use the LS17 PharMed tubing. On the Kamoer listing it shows the PharMed tubing as an option, but I can't tell if the LS17 size would be compatible? Is there any other reason why this unit may not be a good alternative to the Masterflex? |

There isn't any issues I don't see except it's a unknown brand and so reliability is a bit of a concern. Most on here use masterflex cause it's a proven winner. Until some one uses the kaomer no one can verify the reliability or the unit. If you want to try go ahead and report back.

Official: Masterflex Calcium Reactor Setup Thread
A couple other options although I myself use cole Parmer
Some use the new spectrapure auto top off adjustable pump Watson Marlowe? I think is the U.K. Based manufacturer of some great peri pumps. Pacsun I believe sells a continuous duty pump And finally I think GEO is hoping on the band wagon and release a peri pump For calrx later this year.

I did read that the Pacsun pump was a re-branded Kamoer, but I cannot find where I read it now. |

All,
I just aquired a 7550-90 drive without a head. What would be the best head / tubing combo to try to find for this? |
