i have an octopus calcium reactor and plantsaquarium regulator. I have been trying to setup the CO2 tank and i can not get a steady flow of bubbles.
It seems that when i get a slow bubble count, i walk away and come back and its either going faster or slower then when i left it.
Also while adjusting i went though a 10# CO2 tank in less then 2 weeks.
It seems the pressure does not stay steady within the reactor syetm and the bubbles fluxuate.
I have a pH probe in the reactor and i need about 1 bubble per sec to get a 6.5 pH and getting that slow steady bubble flow is hard for some reason. A slight movenment on the needle valve is too much or too little.
ANY ADVISE is needed and appresiated
