View Full Version : too many co2 bubbles rising

I bought a co2 kit last month, i think it was a jbl kit for all you guys in the uk.

I installed it, and have slowly started increasing the bubble count.

The reactor type is a tube with runners inside which slowly rise to the top of the tube.

The problem is the bubbles decrease in size, but not all the bubble disolves and the bubbles left just float to the surface of the tank.

Ive noticed hardly any plant growth, dispite feeding the plants weekly, and regular water changes, plenty of light & the use of a fertiliser under the gravel.

so the longwinded question is:

Can i make a better bubble diffuser? so all the bubbles dissapear.
