sorry if im sounding a bit thick now. but by pouring it back into the bottle after being used, wouldnt you be pouring any algea which has come off the diffuser straight into the easy carbo bottle again?

thanks for the tip. Though, if you were dipping the whole diffuser in easy carbo, thats alot of it being used? and it aint cheap!

just an update for those interested. i picked up a conventional glass diffuser, and this has worked flawlessly i.e. i can set as many bubbles as i want now. shame i cant use the atomisers, but the glass one seems to be doing the trick, so will stick with that. so westy you were right :) Only...

I do get some bubbles from the diffuser(more of a fine mist), the reg is not adjustable. It sits at around 2.5-2.75 bar.

Update i got a replacement diffuser (same one). unfortunately, with the same results :( When it first came on, there was a rush of bubbles in the bubble counter, and then this went to 1bps. Now, no matter how much i adjust the needle valve, the bubble counter remains at 1bps. I am getting...

How and where do I check for this? When I installed the whole setup, I only checked where the reg connected to the fire extinguisher for leaks (using soapy water). Apart from this,I just made sure that all parts of the tubing was very tight when connecting together.

i just did a test by taking off the diffuser, and bubbles were shooting out of the tube, then i adjusted the needle valve, and this was increasing & decreasing the flow depending on which way i turned. when i closed the needle valve all the way in, the bubbles completely stopped. Am i right in...

Is it possible then the problem may lie with the diffuser? I was thinking, because there is no change in the bubble counter, that this could only point towards the reg being at fault?

this is what i purchased: http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/easy-aq ... -5939.html

appreciate the input, however it just so happens the diffuser has been sitting in the tank connected to the pipe for around a week. i had everything apart from the regulator, so all was hooked up waiting for this to turn up. i cant change the working pressure on this reg, but going on other...

Just got my TMC PRO Regulator last night, hooked it all up, and it looked as if it was working yesterday. After reading up on suggestions made here, it was recommended i would need more co2 injection. i started on 1BPS. so i just tried fine tuning the needle valve, except this is not making...

yep, quite a bit of hair algea growing everywhere. Up until yesterday, i was dosing easy carbo.

i didnt realise i would need that much! My lights come on at 2pm and go off in the evening at 10pm. i have set the co2 to come on 1 hour before the lights come on, and then to go off 1 hour before the lights go off. Tank is a heavily populated community tank- full of fish, so i'm glad you...

I finally got my pressurised co2 going today. I have the dropchecker in the tank installed-opposite end to where the diffuser is in the tank . After how long can I expect this to change colour towards green (currently blue). I have started on 1bps on the bubble counter. Is this enough?, I didn't...

ive just got home and checked the bottle, the solution in the bottle is actually yellow :oops: I was going by the colour of the drop checker in the tank so i'll grab the premix that AE offers.

Thanks, i only got the one bottle with it.

I picked up a new 'red sea' drop checker from ebay. Now, i realise to make use of this efficiently i need to use 4dkh solution. The drop checker came with its own solution (blue in colour), is it safe to assume that this is ok to use with standard 4dkh solution as opposed to the premix one...

thanks, ive dropped him a message. I find it odd that there isnt diffusers freely available here for my sized aquarium though.

can anyone suggest what sort of diffuser would be ok for my use? i.e. 350litre. every one i have seen so far suggests under 300litres.

thanks for the suggestions guys. following up the recommendation of lunapet, has anyone ever ordered a complete system from them direct? i.e. something like: http://www.lunapet.de/co2anlage_glasrea ... p-118.html Would i get away something with like this as my tank is 350litres?

I thought i could get away without co2 in my aquarium, but it seems it would probably benefit from the addition of co2. Initially i was going to go the jbl route, but considering i can save quite a bit by the FE route, ive chosen to do it in this manner. I was going to get the tmc pro...

thanks for your input.

thanks for the input guys. im getting the jbl kit for £60!, its hardly been used apparently. so i am assuming if i get the jbl adapter for this system, i should be able to add on any conventional FE on?

thanks for your input. do you know how much work is involved in getting a regular co2 fire extinguisher hooked up to this unit?

I have recently started out my low tech planted aquarium, but have some questions on co2. my lighting is 1WPG, and i am dosing with the all in one fertiliser from ''aquarium plant food UK' every few days. My plants are Vallis/Anubia/Crypts/Java Fern/Moss Tank is a Juwel Trigon350. I have 2...
