    CO2 Cylinder pressure

    Thanks for all the ideas, here are some answers; I think I can rule this out. I tried putting a small bubble counter directly after the solenoid and I get a much more accurate control of bubble rate. I have got one already, but I have ordered a JBL co2 specific one to try out as that is what...

    CO2 Cylinder pressure

    Yes I can, it has separate adjustment for pressure/bubble rate. I am going to try and experiment a bit more today/ tomorrow am to see if I can sort this out better, but I have a feeling I will have to come up with a better solution. On the same tank I have another external co2 diffuser running...

    CO2 Cylinder pressure

    Thanks for replies; Yes a JBL proflora one If I open it a bit more then I get too high of a bubble rate, i need about 2/sec, any more and it can go up to around 4/sec. I will set the solenoid to open earlier tonight for tomorrow am, but this does not explain why it did not operate correctly...

    CO2 Cylinder pressure

    Hi Been having issues with one of my co2 sources on my main tank. I cannot work out why the following happens. Every morning there seems to not be enough pressure for the co2 to start bubbling. I have to manually open the regulator a bit to get it going, but once open its fine and consistent...

    Pub CO2

    The cylinder holds 34kg of co2, the cylinder itself empty weighs 65kg, so yea its 99kg full. The next size down was only 6kg of co2 which is not enough for me..

    Pub CO2

    Well after a few days i managed to get the co2 cylinder. In the end i used BOC gas in Morden Surrey, had to setup an account as you have to rent the cylinder. It costs me £6.90/month in rental, and £25 to refil when needed (il be claiming vat back), which hopefully wont be for a good 6 months...

    Pub CO2

    Yea your right, dont know why i keep saying 800lt, originally it was going to be around 800 as i was planning on a sump, keep forgetting lol In the first few weeks i was running really high co2 for 24hrs per day, 10 bubbles per second approx, so it ran out quick. I also tend to keep higher co2...

    Pub CO2

    My 5kg FE ran out in 5 weeks on my 800lt tank I am looking into better diffussion, but first i am going to sort the supply out. From my research the best option i have found is from BOC gasses, welding supplies. They do a 34kg bottle which costs £6.90/month or £78 for the year in rental, &...
