Co2 Nutrafin Help

[Joinerlavin]

I am reading the instructions and it says fill up with sugar to the first line, where the hell are the lines on the cannister, are they inside or outside, theres not many markings.

 

[Joinerlavin]

got its set up now but no bubbles, i have put a check valve and a bubble counter on the line to stop yeast getting in the tank, but i got no instructions on how to put them on, and i am getting no buibbles yet after 10 mins

it can take up to 30 mins, did you use tepid (tap water at about 30 oC?)

 

[Joinerlavin]

yea used warm water from the hot tap, what about the bubble counter and check valve, there no special thing to do with them

The line is quite long aswell from my tank to my unit?

 

[Truck]

make sure your line is as short as it can be, the warm water, to the touch should not really be felt.

the bubble counter isnt really needed IMO on a yeast unit. the check valve will reduce the flow but the pressure will over come that, just give it 30 mins and it should be going

 

[Joinerlavin]

i got the valves because alot of people were saying that the yeast was getting in the tank, the bubbles are working now but they are getting clogged up on the ladders does this matter?

 

[Truck]

the bubbles will slowly crawl up the ladder, its better the bubbles staying in the ladder, theres more contact with water so more time to disolve

 

[Joinerlavin]

should i be able to smell it

 

[Truck]

if you can smell it you have a leak

 

[Joinerlavin]

checked it and no leak, i must just be being paranoid, now i have planted my plants do i have to tip toe around them when cleaning or are they hard wearing like?

 

[Truck]

depends on the plant, you only need to vac open substrate

 

[Joinerlavin]

there isnt alot of open subtrate in my tank, I have the 2 plants and a piece of wood which takes most of it up lol, gunna be hard to hoover it. thanks anyway big help.
