    Hey bros,

    My 2211 have been serving me well eversince day 1. However something weird is happening. My 2211 is hooked up to an ista external reactor. For at least 2 weeks I can see water spinning the prop inside. However now it seems to be overflowing into the reactor only. I've checked my inlet n cannister for blockage. Disconnected from the reactor and the flow rate is good. Connected back to the reactor and it's back to the same. Empties the reactor and it is able to fill it up very slowly.. Took out my rainbar and saw that water is merely dripping out. Wat could have gone wrong?

    When connnecting to any external equipment, the flow rate of the filter will drop. Perhaps you need a stronger filter to drive the flow through the external reactor.
    The role of master and servant begin to cloud in the water..

    The reactor might be leaking air.

    I had this problem with one of my external reactors also, I had to keep re-priming my canister filter. (Atman rated at 1000 L/hr.)

    Finally I got so annoyed with it, I removed it and went back to a less efficient glass diffuser.

    Hmm leaking air? I do observe the reactor filled up the reactor pretty fast when I disconnect my co2 tubing from it. After I connect back, the flow rate is pathetic
