gla atomic diffusor

mcaquatic · 07-04-2012, 03:07 PM

I just switched to an atomic inline diffusor. I have to have my low pressure gauge set at about 50 psi to get co2 going. Is this ok to have the low pressure this high? On my previous ones i set it to 10 psi. Also will I use more C02 this way? ALso not sure if it matters but the tank is a 90g. Thanks

I believe it says on their website that you need to have 30psi or more to get it diffusing. It shouldn't be a problem with using more co2, because its still being controlled by your needle valve. Theres just more pressure behind it.

thanks for the reply. The website says 30, but that wasn't enough for me.
