hi there,
I have a DIY paintball co2 system at home attached to a fluval ceramic diffuser. its currently retrofitted with a basic paintball on/off valve along side a needle valve. it works great to see a steady flow of co2 to the tank and my plants love it however, i have difficulty controlling the pressure, and adjusting the flow rate. any suggestions how to control it? sometimes the pressure is too high the tube flys off... I have been able to control it with a bit of patience and elbow grease... but is there a more effective way of controlling the flow so that all i need to do is just turn it on and off via the on/off valve.
I was thinking of getting a bubble counter for it, would that help?
thanks
