so the bubbles are coming out steadily, and going into the intake of the cannister. but earlier i could see like really tiny bubble getting shot out of the filter output. now there isn't as much and every once in a while the filter shoots out A LOT of bubbles. kinda like the co2 is building up in the cannister before it is being pushed out of the filter.
a lil help now with my diy co2

the idea is that there arent any bubbles..
the co2 should dissolve into the water.
I use a diffuser, not the canister method, so I am sure there will be more responses to this.

the filter should be strong enough i would think. its a fluval 304, rated at a flow of 260 gallons per hour.
I have a fluval 404 and was diffusing my co2 through that. The bubbles will be trapped at the top of the canister but with the constant water movement will be diffused. So its normal to not see the filter shoot out a mist of bubbles..

ok, but every once in a while it just shoots out a lot of bubbles and air. and sometimes i do see little bubbles coming out of the filter. but they are like super tiny.
testing the ph and hardness or w/e of the tank water. I say the drop checker is the easiest and cheapest.
They also say a one point drop in ph = 30ppm but this is tricky since every water is different. One may contain more buffers.
