Not shore if blue light grow plants I would keep all lights off till co2 has been running for 2 hours,I would not focus on the drop checker to much,its degassing faster then the bigger tank because its smaller in size,just set the co2 at a good rate and leave it,the trick is to get the co2...

hi fly fisherman..thanks for the reply.....that does make sense,when i put the fe bottle on the handle seemed a bit wobblely at the top,when i sqeezed it to open it,so thats why its staying open all the time,but am still wondering why the psi on the reg is not working :?

just got in tonight and changed my fe bottle,but i think iv over tightened the reg ,and broken it :( now the fe bottle is staying open all the time,when conected to the reg,there no leaks but ,if i push the handle to open the fe bottle, its open,if the bottle is shut close im still getting...

hi peter k,i have my co2 come on 2hour before lights on and go off 2 hour before thay go off and it works well,i read you can do it 1 hour on and off but i have quite a big tank,as for the drop cheaker if you fill it with 4 kh solution and 2 or3 drop of reagent blue,it should work,it shouldent...

i have a aqua medic 1000 reactor running on my 260l tank and i get 100 percent defusion,i cant see no little bubbles at all,so i would say something isnt right,i have the bio balls jn it as standard,i have my fluval 405 running it 1200lph,the only thing is i get a slight build up of co2 at the...

just fiddled about with the set up to see if i could find the ploblem,dont think its the reg or solenold,because if i disconect the tubing at the cheak valve so the co2 is not going in to the reactor the co2 bubble come out a bit faster but at a constant rate,as sone as i conect it back up...

cant return it,brought it off internet from germany ,and iv lost the receite,if its the same with the solenold disconected,then surly its got to be something rong with the reg,might be a good idear to take it apart and have a look at it,to see if i can see a problem,iv got another cheak valve...

just tryed taking the solenold vavle off and its made no difference,in fact its running faster with the solenold on than off ,more bps,cant work that out,but both ways,the bps were still running erraticy,the reg and the solenold are only 8 mouths old,i now reg and solenolds are not to cheap as...

thanks for the quike reply paul,yes i am useing a solenold valve,and it is clicking on and of ok,i will conect the co2 ,straight to the reg and see if thats the problem,is it easy to cheak the o rings on the reg or do i have to take the reg apart ..im going to change the co2 tubing to the reg...

just raised the psi from 2 bars to 3 bars,set the bps up and its been ok so far,its been running on a constant rate for about 4 days now and i havent seen no reduction in the bps,im going too keep my eye on it...thanks for the advice.... :)

thanks for the reply,i have just checked all the conections and there dont seem to be any leaks,the psi bar does not go down,just the bps seem to slow up,cant work it out,can i ask how long you have to wait before you have to tweek it , as the bottle runs out......i think i will double check the...

i have only bin using co2 for about 6 mouths,i was using a 500 gram bottle but i have recently changes to a 2kg fe bottle,i have been tweeking the co2 till i get it just right, 3 or 4 bps ,this could take 3 or 4 days,by turning it up slightly every day making shore it isnt going yellow at the...
