This prevents the entire tube from filling up and knocking off the suction cup and having the entire reactor come loose.

You can add several such burp holes in the side of any such reactor, then use those air line plugs to add or remove the holes to get the desired level or effect.

That makes sense. The burp hole works while the reactor is on. Guess I should have put a little more effort into the thinking process first. I hate getting older.



Thanks,
