just kidding...I won't make you try to read it, but I'll translate a few bits:
"If the effluent is directed towards a protein
skimmer, the sudden oxygen saturation will lead to precipitation of calcium carbonate. This is due to the fact that the CO2 in the reactor runoff is bound to calcium hydrogen carbonate and not as free CO2 (so, the higher the KH, then the higher the amount of CO2 in the form of calcium hydrogen carbonate. If CO2 is removed, then the hydrogen carbone dissociates into CO2 and carbonate, which will precipitate as a white substance). For this reason, it's better to let the reactor effluent run directly into the "filter
sump" or the display. This should be no problem, even if the
pH value is 6.0"
So...my biggest problem is that my
sump does NOT have dividers, which is unfortunate....could be changed at some point, but this is what I have at the moment. This is why we decided to go into the tank instead.
