Well, I didn't think you could get that much Co2 dissolved into the water with just an airstone, but I was wrong.

Setup my pressured Co2 last night and turned the airstone on as I haven't figured out what I'm going to do for a reactor yet. I placed it under the intake for the filter figuring a little bit of it would get sucked up to at least lower the amount of waste.........

I woke up this morning to find my Drop Checker yellow (at least I know it works now and I have it setup right) with 99% of my corys dead, my khulis grasping for error along with my Gouramis and Neons and at least one of my Oto's dead.

Sorry to hear about your losses.
I also learned the hard way never to adjust CO2 before bed or going out.

Question, how many BPS were you running?
You said dumping, Is your CO2 tank empty?

For the BPS I honestly have no clue. The bubble counter wasn't reading right (need to look into that).

And I guess "dumping" was the wrong word.

Just dumped enough Co2 in to almost kill all the fish.
