I'm using DIY CO2 and for a while I was turning the reactor off at night. I found that CO2 would build up and flow back into the powerhead sometimes causing it to not start up correctly (unable to purge the CO2) and then there is basicaly no diffusion the entire next day unless I catch I and turn the reactor sideways (I often go out of town so this is not cool).

Anyone else noticed this problem?

My solution as been to leave it on and run an airstone at night instead, but it's clouding up my glass lid very badly so I'm trying to find a way around this as well.
