Hi,
I finally bit the bullet and got a pressurized CO2 set-up. I'm having a bit of trouble getting the bubble counter to maintain a consistent rate.
When I set it up 2 nights ago, it seems like it just kept slowing down and petering out, and when i got home from work yesterday, no bubbles at all. Better than hypoxia, i guess....
SOOOO here's the deal: I have the solenoid plugged into the same timer as my lights. When it turned on this a.m., I half expected no bubbles at all Instead I was there when the solenoid kicked on and saw a HUGE rush of CO2 bubbles come pouring out! 8O I panicked, and turned it down manually to a decent rate...I was worrying about the fish and pumping that much co2 all at once into the tank.
Is it normal to see this rush of co2 right after kicking on in the a.m.? Or is it symptomatic of trouble with my regulator??? I hope not...
