Re: Problem with aquamedic 1000 CO2 reactor I currently have the CO2 tube plumbed straight to the canister uptake, and every few hours, I get a burst of large undissolved bubbles coming through the outlet and straight to the surface, which is a massive waste of gas...so, I have just ordered a reactor (generic brand) and, during the whole planning and visualising process, I had wondered whether there would be a build up of gas within the reactor, and whether the water/gas ratio would fluctuate any. I had resolved to monitor how this goes over a period of time and adjust the timing of my solenoid, so that the gas buildup will have been absorbed by the time the lights go off at night.
Since I have not set the reactor up yet, I can only speculate on how it might perform, but I can only envision that this will end up saving me money in the long run. |
