Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello! Newbee here and my 1st post. I did a search and didn't find answer to my particular question so here goes. I have a Fluval Edge 12 and Aqueon 15 gallon tanks for about a year. I have live plants and fish doing really well. I decided to try CO2 injection in the 15 gallon tank to see if it improves the fauna in my tank. Upgrading to a 40 gallon this summer.
I have noticed in the morning, there is water in the line from the bubble counter to the diffuser. I have to turn the CO2 up really high (one bubble a second) to clear the water in the line to get it working. Is this normal because the instructions or Youtube videos I've seen don't mention it. I did follow advise from one person on Youtube who suggested installing a one way valve like I have in my bubble air pump. After installing it inline, no CO2 was getting thru at all so I removed it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
