Hi everyone!
I am using a Red Sea Reefer 350 as my Planted Tank, with pressurized CO2. I had an inline atomizer connected to my return line from my sump. However, I ran into the typical issue with a ton of bubbles in my DT. I thought I would solve this problem by building a Cerges reactor and plumbing it into the return. However, that doesn't seem to have solved the problem, and I'm wondering if perhaps there's too much flow and not enough time for the CO2 to completely dissolve? My pump has about 1,150 gph flow, and the reactor doesn't seem to slow it down much.
Assuming excessive flow is the issue, what's a good way to solve this? Should I split the flow coming out of the pump, and control the flow going directly into the tank to find the right mix to allow time for the CO2 to dissolve?
If that's not a good solution, what are some recommendations?
