Quick Question On The Nutrafin Co2 Kits.....

[guppy_man]

Hi earlier today my Nutrafin CO2 kit was delivered, i set it all up about 30 mins ago, copying the mixture thats pinned on here.
Whats happening is, the bubbles are coming into the ladder diffuser, and then congregating at the first level, and then releasing as one big bubble.

Ive tried tilting the ladder, but still does the same thing.


Does it need more time to start working propperly, or have i done something wrong?



thanks, all help will be appreciated

Same thing happened to mine!

Everyone told me that this is normal on a new ladder and it will sort itself out in a day - and it did. Just make sure it's level and it should be ok.

24 hours on, and still the bubbles are only reaching half way up the ladder plenty of bubbles but the ladder is not working propperly.
Ive seen most people using the cermaic glass diffusers.

Do you think its worth me getting one?, and if so, anyone know any websites that do fast delivery and low prices, if not then ill use ebay

It can take up to 3 days in my experience, aqua essentials do a lot of different diffusers, ceramic are better than ladders as they dissolve up to 98% of the co2
