A starting CO2

sil80guy · 05-10-2008, 04:35 AM

I just made a DIY CO2 with a gas separator and diffuser, I was wondering how long does it take for the pressure to build? Because im getting no bubbles in the diffuser at the moment.

The gas separator is getting 1-5 bubbles a min.

When you use a seperator, it takes longer, but you know that now.. ROCK ON!

Ok now it started working but I have another problem with the diffuser, theres like an airhole in the top that I cant seal and semi big bubbles are escaping, is this a problem?

yes, get a new one. I have one like this:

You can have for $20 shipped.

ok i tied some string to keep it shut it seems like its making it tighter, but now 1-5 bubbles are forming per min, hopefully its tring to build up pressure again.

arg i spent 35 bucks on the diffuser and I guess i have to buy a new one, I wonder if they will take it back and give me my money back if its used.

sorry about all the questions, but i finally got it to work. Now its going through the diffuser plate and micro bubbles are spreading all over the tank, is this what is suppose to happen?
