Title: Inline co2 regulator question
Post by: fortunateson on May 23, 2013, 10:56:01 PM
Hey guys,

This has always bothered me. Is in normal for water to accumulate in my inline co2 reactor. It's the type of reactor where you cut and place Inline of your out take  hose on your canister filter??

I believe I bought it online from Green leaf aquarium.


Thanks

Do you by chance mean is it normal for gas to accumulate in the inline reactor?  Because if it's gas you might want to adjust the filter flow rate, or decrease the hose size on the outlet side or increase the hose size on the inlet side of the reactor.

Perfectly normal, more than likely you don`t run CO 2 at nights so the  water have little resistance from penetrating the pores of the diffuser  .
