Hello I just installed a pressurized co2 you all seem to sing high praises about it so i took the leap and bought a all in one milwaukee setup with the regulator, needle valve, solenoid, bubble counter and a 5lb tank.
it is installed on a 48 gallon tank with a 96W compact flourescent lighting and a regular 30w fourescent bulb.
I am adding the ferts on a regular basis and my question is how do you set up the co2 properly?
I cant seem to get the flow to a steady normal pace. In the bubble counter its coming out very quickly but in the actual tank very slow. I open the needle valve and it comes out faster and then i come back 20mins later and its gone back to a trickle. I have the pressure at 10psi as the instructions dictated and by looking at the bubble counter i cant even count how many bubbles per second its so fast but on the tank its coming out about 2 bubbles a second. I am in the midst of buying a diffuser using the one from the yeast method i had its a maze type one that the bubbles seem to just reach the surface very fast.
Any help??
