I'm gonna try and explain this as best I can so bear with me lol. I recently purchased an UP 3-way needle valve (Tri-regulator) and am using Co2 supermarket regulator. I have 2 outlets from the 3-way, one to an UP 16/22 Inline Atomizer and one to a glass diffuser under the filters inlet. I am using tubing from different companies so not sure if that can cause my problem or not or maybe the distance it has to travel or maybe the different bubble counters I'm using.
My problem is when the timer comes on 2 hours before lights on they dont both come on at the same rate that I fiddled to get them at the day before, so everyday basically, I'm trying to get them both giving the same rate as I set them at the day before. Could it be a dodgy needle valve or the different equipment leaning the Co2 to choose the path of least resistence? It is ok as soon as I set it but once it goes off and comes on again I'm back to square one.
