Bit of an update but its seems to be holding steady at 2.5 bar but ordered some tubing anyway.

Ok. Thanks as always peeps. I'll check it in the morning and order some proper tubing. Any ideas on which mm I need?

Ok. So I'll swap my tubing out for proper stuff. Diffuser is fine but will keep an eye on it at, so when my reg isn't on the 2.5 bar figure should rise ?

A inline up one, also think my tubing isnt actual CO2 tubing and just airline. Will this make a difference?

If it does drop I assume there is a leak in the system somewhere? Thanks for the reply

Have just connected up my freshly refilled FE to my reg and one gauge flies upto 60 bar and the other one upto 3 bar, Now I assume that the 56 bar is the overall bottle pressure and the other gauge is ?? My query is the gauge with the smaller reading has dropped from over 3 bar to closer to 2...

Well there are areas of my tank where there isnt any movement at all on stems so think a powerhead is in order.

Hi, Id like to invest in a powerhead anyway to increase flow as I still think my plants would benefit and hopefully eliminate any dead spots What size is advisable for my size tank? its a fairly small tank so dont want too it too powerful

HI Alastair It does come out of the other holes but alot less than the first three, for example the sub surface water movement is noticeable on the first three holes and then after that not at all noticeable. Had a tetratec EX 1200 before and that was fairly even across the entire bar. Its...

Good Evening, I think I know the answer to this question already but Ill put it out there anyways... I have a bow fronted Juwel 180 and amongst other problems I have a MA filter AquaManta 300 EFX external with the standard spray bar that reaches two thirds along the top of the tank and cant...

Went to my local MA today and asked about a cheap diffuser to tide me over til I could get an inline one and walked out with a external reactor. Looks good so am looking forward to seeing it working. So tomorrow I'm gonna hook it all up. Could someone post up a diagram of the running order...

Mine is either the 300 fx or the 400 fx so maybe my measuring skills leave alot to be desired.... Its standard pipe work so will be the same as yours Im sure. Thanks for the reply. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have a Aqua manta 300 external running on my tank. The pipe work is roughly 25mm in diameter (internal) and before I buy a upinline diffuser has anyone got any experience of how much give is in the fittings as in will it stretch to fit the pipes. Any advice will be greatly received.

Thanks Tom, chatted to the very helpful peeps at my local MA and am considering the Aquamanta EFX 300 aswell which I think is equivalent size etc so am gonna have a look at that the weekend. Not fitting in the cabinet isn't the end of the world but it would be nice.

Sorry for the double post, I was always happy with my EX1200, never had any problems etc but my only downside is that it wont fit in my cabinet!! :( Its within budget so may well plump for that.
