Hey,
I have two questions on my CO2 concerns for you fine people!
1. I have a glass distributor (I think thats what they are called) that I have what I beleive to be a ceramic disc in it to produce very fine bubbles. My tank has taken a bit of a back seat in our house and the CO2 ran out about 6 months ago, however the distributor has been sitting in the tank gathering du.... algae.
The inside were full of it which I have managed to remove with warm water, however I can not get any bubbles to come through. I am imersing the distributor in water and blowing through the tubes, so either I should blow harder as it doesnt really work that way or the ceramic is blocked. So, should I get bubbles when I blow air through the tubes or how do I clean it? Rightly or wrongly, its sitting in a warm cup of bleachy water currently.
2. I have a solenoid that I plan on using with this CO2, however I also have an air pump. How should I combine the two? My plan was to turn the air on as the lights go off.
Thanks
Lee
