Hi,
Ok, I have my tank all set up. Unfortunately, it took a while to assemble my DIY CO2 reactor as I couldn't find a good connector and lost about 4 plants. The regular ones barely got through the bottle cap and made a severely poor connection. I finally boughht some Lee's disposable airstones for the long connectors. It works and I'm get a stream of CO2 now. It fluctuates from 4 bubbles per second to a literally stream of CO2 for 5-8 seconds. I've placed it near the intake of my Aquaclear 5-20 (formerly Mini) filter.
I know I'm losing some of the CO2. So, what can I do to reduce it. I know some have said to get the water level just below the filter lip. However, considering that the filter lip is even with the inner rim of my tank, I don't think having my glass top floating or water spilling all over the place when I try to clean the tank is a good idea. So, what can I do to reduce the CO2 loss?
Sincrely,
Genaro
