I'm upgrading from the DIY CO2 system, to the pressurized system. I got a 5lb tank, an inexpensive regulator (until I do more research on them), the CO2 tubing, and a diffuser. I plan to get some sort of reactor to replace the diffuser at some point.
I am unsure about one thing though.. after I attached the regulator to the CO2 tank, plugged in the solenoid, and opened the needle valve slightly, bubbles came through. What I don't get, is how there are bubbles coming through into the bubble counter, if the CO2 tank itself is closed tight?? Maybe I just don't completely understand how this thing works.
Any ideas would be great!
