I’ve just changed from using an in tank diffuser to an external reactor. I’m currently using this one:
I set it all up and it runs perfectly and quiet and is filled with water. However when I turn the co2 on the gas pushes some of the water out and I have a pocket of air at the top. This in turn causes the whole reactor to make a whiting and water sound.
I assume the reactor is working right as my bubble counter is showing around 1bpm and I don’t see bubbles inside the tank.
Is this how it’s supposed work or should the entire reactor be filled with water like it is being I turn on the co2.
Here is a photo where you can see at the top what I mean.
