CO2 regulator problem (reef fanatic)

[cwegescheide]

Hi guys/ladies (gotta say hello to Katrina),

Hey I was in there about a month ago and got a PM reactor and all the trimmings from you. I got one of the reef fanatic CO2 regulators and I am having a little bit of a problem. When I set up the reactor and started the CO2 I noticed when I lowered the bubble count to where I thought it should be the bubbles quickly turned into like a fizz.. I originally thought it might be because the CO2 tank was cold (just got it from a supplier which stored them in a shed) so I thought no biggie. Well its still fizzing.. Is there something with either the reactor bubble counter or the regulator that is screwed up? If so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks alot and Happy New Year,
Chris

Hi Chris,

It sounds like the check valve in the reactor has gone bad. Precision M arine will warranty the issue, however I do not have any cv's in stock right now to replace it with. PM will be closed until Monday, but I will call them then to get some order and let you know when they come in.

Thanks,
Jeremy
