Have switched from an UP atomiser inline CO2 to an aquamedic 1000.
Two quick observations: my bubble count now has to be a lot higher to get a lime green drop checker (but the fish are showing no stress), and the water is a lot, lot clearer.
Can't help wondering if the UP Atomiser has thrown off the drop checker accuracy by the mist 'getting into' the air space too easily, giving a false high reading. Has anyone else experienced this? What else could be going on? Literally nothing else in the setup has changed.
