    Gulping for air

    It's pretty difficult to raise the spray bar since the part that bends over the rim of the aquarium doesn't allow the expeller to go any higher than 6 inches from the top of the tank. The only way I can have surface aeration is to keep the water level at least 6 inches low. Maybe I can angle...

    Gulping for air

    I don't have any aeration. I have a Fluval canister filter that was expelling too powerfully and causing black hair algae to grow so I made a DIY spray bar out of a PVC pipe and now the water flow is pretty calm. So I'm guessing it's too calm and isn't creating enough water flow around the...

    Gulping for air

    Hey guys. I have a heavily planted 65 gallon tank with CO2 injection. It's a community tank with 3 discus, 2 angels, and a big variety of tetras, rainbow fish, corydoras, rasboras, and loaches. All the plants are healthy and thriving as well as the fish. The CO2 and lighting are on a timer...

    CO2 regulator problem

    I guess I'm confused about what "turning off the regulator" means. I have the front knob turned all the way counterclockwise so there's no resistence before opening the tank valve otherwise the CO2 comes screeching out. The first diagram on this instruction manual shows a regulator identical...

    CO2 regulator problem

    I have another planted tank in my house with the same set up. I had plugged the regulator into the outlet BEFORE opening the CO2 valve and it is working just fine. It registers 50psi on the left side gauge and 20 kg/cm on the right side with bubbles coming out. I'm not sure why my other...

    CO2 regulator problem

    I believe I had the regulator plugged in before I opened the valve to the CO2 tank. Was I supposed to plug the regulator into the outlet AFTER the CO2 valve is opened?

    CO2 regulator problem

    Yes the main valve is opened all the way and it is producing bubbles. Everything seems to be working except the right valve registers zero. Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I'm afraid something catastrophic will happen when I'm at work. I have two breeding discus in there with week old fry...

    CO2 regulator problem

    Hello all. I'm a new member to this group. I started CO2 injection in my planted tank but have seem to run into a problem with my Milwaukee CO2 regulator. The CO2 tank is a full 10lb canister. When I hook up the regulator, the left gauge stays at zero and the right gauge working pressure is...
