    UP co2 Atomizer

    Mine is diffusing perfectly well at a regulator output pressure of 1.5bar. That's surely not too high? Peter

    Help CO2 run out and no chance to get any more until Monday

    Re: Help CO2 run out and no chance to get any more until Mon Cheers as always Clive, I may just be starting to get the hang of this ;-) Peter

    Help CO2 run out and no chance to get any more until Monday

    I moved my cylinder this morning whilst it was still showing about 35 bar. When I came back in again this afternoon it read zero - a leak must have vented it all to the room. Now SWMBO tells me that tomorrow is to be spent shopping in the wrong place, so I won't have a chance to get a new...

    Is Co2 visible in aquariums?

    Or just one scientist - hereabouts he's known as ceg4048 :wave: Peter

    Please help me tweak my flow

    Hi Clive, I was hoping you'd drop by :wave: The yellowing is all due to colour balance - the rear light tube in there is a Juwel 'Warm-Lite' which seems to show up on the camera as that yellow effect; I guess there's not much green in the spectrum of that tube, so what you see reflecting off...

    Please help me tweak my flow

    My tank is now doing well with my new external filter. CO2 is injected via an Up-Aqua inline atomiser into the outflow and the flow is returned to the tank via a spraybar along the majority of the back wall of the tank. An obvious circular flow pattern is established and CO2 bubbles can be...

    How to test CO2 levels without dropchecker

    Previous times I've seen this method described it required you to leave the sample to 'off gas' overnight, rather than shaking for 60s. Try it this way. The other possibility is that your pH test isn't reading properly of course (said that so that Mr Barr wouldn't have to :silent: ). Peter

    How to test CO2 levels without dropchecker

    Something in that feels wrong to me (but I'm not an expert in this ;-)) - surely the method George described here: Relies on a pH change caused by the out-gassing of CO2? Unless these other acids out-gas or are somehow destroyed between measurements, the change will only be caused by release of...

    Inline diffuser on the inlet to or outlet from filter?

    Simple question, but conflicting indications of the correct answer: Into which hose of the filter should the inline diffuser be inserted? Input or output? I notice that the Boyu is designed to replace the inlet strainer, suggesting the answer is 'inlet', with the filter acting as a reactor; but...

    Where can I get a high pressure gauge for DD regulator

    Yep, I did that, and got a read receipt, last Friday, but I haven't received a reply as yet :-( Peter

    CO2 choices and decisions ???

    You and me both! Peter

    CO2 choices and decisions ???

    ... and then went on to provide a truly superb treatise on Nitrogen toxicity. This remarkable post should be required reading. May I suggest that it is extracted to an article or a sticky somewhere? It would be criminal for it to get lost into the depths of the archive. Peter

    Where can I get a high pressure gauge for DD regulator

    I'd quite like to add a high pressure gauge to the option port on my DD disposable cylinder regulator, but haven't a clue where to get one and what to specify. Could anyone point me in the right direction please? Peter

    can I lay my co2 canister on its side?

    Yep. My 600g disposable has been on its side since day 1. No obvious problems. Peter
