Most is coming out of the diffuser disk now, although some is still leaking. The psi is just under 50.
Aquatek co2 tubing. It's at the end of the tubing, not coming out the actual tubing itself.
The diffuser is 2 days old. What could've clogged it that fast? It's now like 3 tiny streams of bubbles coming out at the end of the tubing, with most coming out of the diffuser.
Great progress with this tank! Be happy the Rotala is at that height. Growth looks nice and compact. Carpet is killer. You could try another stem plant in the corner. Perhaps a species of Alternanthera.
You may have to reduce the lights to 6 hours. What ferts are you using?
Great looking tank! If the algae on the glass keeps coming back you could try increasing po4 dosage to slow it down. It might seem backward but it works.
I've been having some issues with my co2 over the last couple weeks. It's not coming through the diffuser, and was just coming through a little at the end of the tubing. I cleaned the diffuser, and that still didn't help. I messed around with adjusting the rate of co2 yesterday and must've left it jacked up because I got home today and the tubing had blown off the diffuser and the tank was empty. I'll have to go get the tank refilled at some point this week..
Does anybody have ideas on what to do to fix this? Or have any recommendations for a better diffuser (I'm using the fluval one currently)?
What type of filter do you have?
If you have a canister then go with an inline diffuser from upAqua or someone like that.
If you have a hob just put the pipe into hob intake.
The co2 canister is working again.. Im not sure what happened, but when I went to remove the regulator from the canister so I could refill it, it clicked and the pressure gauge went back up. I hadn't touched the regulator's fitting on the tank since I first set it up. Just glad it's going again.
