was thinking, not sure if I will ever get arround to it though.
a 5mm bubble is about 1/15cc. If I could get the count down to a bubble every 4 seconds, that is still 1cc a minute - 1.4 liters a day (about a gallon every 3 days). If the needle valve can cut it more than that, it might work.
I am living life without a needle valve, but understand that this is asking a lot of one. Course if you are running a soloniod - that would really help things out.

please excuse the 1001 wags in that estimate. have to wonder how much solubiltiy of the c02 will mess with this idea. if c02 really does disolve as easy as one thread mentioned, this will not work at all untill the solution hits saturation. Regardless, if it does disolve easily, the drip rate will increase as saturation is approched. but would be for a wonderful experiment.
