Osmolator question

Is the Osmolator Universal ok for a small reef tank 24 gal and can you restrict the flow of the feed tube with a micro ball valve?

Yes, you can turn the pump speed down inside the controller, and I would add a micro valve as well. The only issue tends to be that it runs the pump for 15 seconds every time it powers up, power interruptions can be a problem on small tanks, the valve will reduce how much is added substantially.
