Help please
A calcium reactor is leaking--the leak is right where the pump and the reactor connect. Can anyone hazard a guess as to what is causing this?
Thanks.

Is it leaking at the fitting? Did you wrap teflon tape around the fittings before you connected them?

Its a coralife reactor, there is no where to put teflon because it uses a gasket, which I have recently cleaned and re-set into place to make sure it has proper contact.
