Its a leak or a leak but could be a leak. I get my drop checker yellow all over my 180l tank with 2kg lasting over 100 days.Recently, I've been getting though a 2kg bottle every month! That's on a 125 litre aquarium
Recently, I've been getting though a 2kg bottle every month! That's on a 125 litre aquarium.
I've had a similar thing, no leaks found painting water with washing up liquid on every joint of entire co2 system so... any recommendations for more reliable methods?
Thanks, I'm gonna try this.Put everything in a large airtight refuse sack and draw all the air out, seal it up having only the solenoid power cable and co2 tubing coming out the top and then try and seal it up around the tubing with blue tack or plasticine to get an air tight seal, if there's any leaks the bag will inflate. If the bag inflates when the solenoid is closed then check the seals from the bottle end first and work your way towards the solenoid, if the bag inflates when the solenoid is open you then work through the connections starting at the co2 tubing connection back towards the solenoid until you find the leak.
Check an inline diffuser for leaks by wrapping it loosely in cling film but ensuring its a tight seal on the hoses, if it balloons there's a leak.
Twice the rate of me....may I suggest leak ?? Last 5 FE's have given me 100days in 180litre with a more yellow than green drop checker.Almost every 45 days. Tank is 180L
Last time I did the check for a leak, I found nothing. I am using the up inline atomizer.I think its about time I did another check...

Could be. Have you go too much surface agitation ? I know after cleaning and I have left my spray bar pointing too far up the surface is very "wibbly" and drop checker doesn't go as green as it should be.It could be a 1/2 efficient difuser or flow ian m.
