Yeah, it would likely be a humming noise. If the price is right go for it.

How is everyone getting the AP regulator's box only? I don't see that as an option for sale on the site.

How do I figure out approximately how much flow per minute I would get from a 20rpm pump with the 17 tubing?

How's about this tube? Seems like a good price, plus it's prime .

I can never find anything on their site.
But I did see a chart for their tubing that says the L/S 17 tubing can run 2.8 to 1700 mL/min with 1-600rpm. But i have no idea what 20rpm will net me.

I see that chart as -
1rpm=2.8ml. 600rpm x 2.8ml=1680ml. (pretty close to their 1700ml.) So 2.8mlx20rpm=56ml, would be my guess. |

ok, yet another question, hopefully not quite as stupid.
One drive i got came with long screws to hold two drives. Where would i get shorter screws to convert it to hold a single drive? Is this just a Home Depot item? Or can I order easily and inexpensively online?

I just picked up one of these drive with a 7518-10 easy load head. I'm running the pump on the lowest playable speed (about 2 on the dial) and mine is essentially inaudible relative to the main return pump that sits next to it. So far so good!

Yup, that's actually what came on this one!
I guess I just need shorter ones. They are threaded about a quarter inch on each end. So a home depot item?

Quick question please. I am using the LS17 equivalent tubing suggested from US Plastics with a 7518-10 head. Even after only a few days, the tubing is slightly flattened. Is this normal, or am I using the wrong tubing for the roller head? Thanks in advance.

You could just take one of the studs with you to the store (I prefer ACE or a smaller local store for this kind of thing, or Fastenal) they'll find the right thread size for you, just measure the length you need. (or give masterflex a phone call they could hook you up with the exact size bolts you need on the way to the store, really helpful folks! (well, 8-5 anyhow ) |

Here's my setup. I got the pump from eBay and the regulator from Alan. Right now my calcium needs are very low and so i'm running 30 ml/min. The pump came with a small pice of LS15 tubing who lets it go to 170 ml/min. I ordered some LS 17 from ebay. I used RO 3/8th tubing throughout to prevent clogs. Iv'e never ran a second chamber on a reactor before and I see a huge difference. My tank PH didn't change at all. Big thanks to Mark for starting this thread. I can't imagine running a calcium reactor differently now.

I prefer ace for the threaded rod (called all-thread) if you are going to be installing a single pump head. If you are stacking multiples the official stuff is better because it is a harder alloy stainless and will flex less.

That tubing is ls36 and should work with your pump head.
Keep an eye on the tubing as I am unsure of the lifespan.
