Co2 system hissing
So the diffusor is making some noise that is normal right?
But I can also hear some gas around the co2 bottle. Is it normal to hear the co2 going through the tubes? Or should it be complete silent? The noise isn't hard but you can clearly hear some gas hissing if I put my ear close.

The sound is coming from the safety over pressure. Is this normal?Soap+water+paint brush and start painting all the connection joints if you see bubbles there's a leak.

Well this sucks since my new pressure regulator comes in 3 days.
It's not common, but it does happen for some refill places will refill based on the weight capacity and not final resting pressure of the tank, which can sometimes cause an safety over-pressure release blowout.
This has been going on since the early days of CO2 systems for planted tanks.
There's a really scary yet hilarious scenario that happened to an early pressure tank CO2 system user on the old USENET chronicles from mid 90's where his unsecured and overfilled CO2 tank blew it's over pressure release seal while he was at work, knocking itself over and scaring all his cats into the basement.
He came home to a really heavily frosted rug and all the cats hiding under every nook in the basement. The damage to the tank and it's regulator was nil, but it was an important lesson, luckily it didn't go on a wild trip across the rug and through a wall.

Lol if I wont be active anymore on this forum you know what happend. The CO2 system is new and the pressure regularor is probably broken because the meters aren't doing what it is supposed to do. Yet I have no choice, need to keep running it cause my tank will run into problems if I don't. #beginnersluckIt's not common, but it does happen for some refill places will refill based on the weight capacity and not final resting pressure of the tank, which can sometimes cause an safety over-pressure release blowout.
