How much CO2 is lost using a reef tank with weir overflows?
Oceanic 135gal drilled with dual weir style overflows thy are plumbed to a 30 gallon sump and out to a 3" Rex Griggs style reactor with pressurized CO2.
I have read most of the threads regarding sealing sumps and have done it in the Tom Barr style(ductape over the first chamber). I am injecting 7-8 bps and am barely keeping the drop checker green and I am begining to think the weirs may be the root of my problem. Hopefully there is something I can do without having to crank the CO2 and use a 5lb tank a month.
