Finally Have My Co2 Operating

[cleekdaFish]

My bubble rate is 22 a min , bubble counter, for a 30 gallon


theres a switch on the reactor...how should I set it..low, medium or high? its a reactor 500

psi is at 15 on the working pressure gauge


is that fine? thx

22 bubbles per minute gives you 1 bubble every 2.7 seconds, sounds fine to me.

Butcheck your ph against you KH on the Co2 table and see what ppm your getting, you may be under what is conciderd optimum level.

thx will do so next week, dont have funds now, co2 just broke my bank account

It may be different cos you are using a reactor which will greatly increase the amount of co2 dissolving into the water, but I have to run my 20g tank at 1bps to get 30ppm co2. Just a thought. But as Moody says, test KH and pH to find out.
