Hi, does everyone have a question why I set 2 bubbles per second and the next day I find 1 bubble even slower?

Either the line reaching pressure and normalising, a leak, or low quality needle valve fluctuating would be my guess.

Ok

the pressure gauge on the left doesn't regulate anything, I open it and it immediately goes to maximum 3 if I'm not mistaken. I think the needle valve is damaged, that's why one day I put in so many bubbles and then when it comes back on 1 bubble per second

That is the working pressure of the regulator!
Could be the Solenoid is faulty?

I feel that the solenoid valve opens and closes is working. I think more about the needle valve

Could this be the algae problem? floating co2?

 

[G H Nelson]

Could do.....fluctuating Co2 doesn't help run a stable aquarium!
My opinion is too much light....poor maintenance, dirty filters, and poor plant health.

You could add another needle valve leaving the one on the regulator fully open!

Have you tested for Co2 leaks?

Water and soap

 

[max73]

Hai effettuato il test per eventuali perdite di Co2?

👌

 

[max73]

Potresti aggiungere un'altra valvola a spillo lasciando quella sul regolatore completamente aperta!

Ok

I put the light on as you told me. The sponges were actually dirty. I cleaned them on Saturday with a change of water.
