Hello everyone - I just recently set up a 7 gal mini-bow heavily planted tank. I'm running a Penguin 125 bio-wheel filter without the bio-wheel. I have 14 watts of lighting on the tank yielding about 2 watts per gallon. My only fish in the tank are a pair of German Blue Rams. I just recently added the Hagen system and have had no luck with getting the thing to bubble consistently. I've tried the mix it came with and my own DIY mix and no bubbles either way. I screwed the chamber tight every time. I've only let each mix sit for about 1 1/2 days and I didn't see anything. The only way I've been able to get bubbles is to give it a shake and then it will bubble for about 15 seconds and stop. It seems as though I'm not getting the reaction in the chamber to get the consistent bubbles in my tank. Any suggestions???
