How fast does your CO2 Reactor blade spin?

[Mookie]

I have just installed the co2 reactor with my Eheim 2213, but the reactor blade seems to be spinning really slow like 1 circle per second. Wondering if it's normal?

How fast it's spin depend on your canister output flow. You will lose about 20%+- flow output once it goes into reactor chamber. I'm using 2217 with small mix max reactor for my 2ft, the outflow just nice for me.

Ah was ridiculously slow at the start, but just went to double check... I think it's decent now... Before that was real slow. My guess was the chamber was filling up..

You suppose to turn the reactor upside down, let the water fill in the chamber when newly install or after cleaning reactor.
