Gonna step away from this for a bit as this has got me a bit annoyed and it’s not what I want this hobby to be about. Takes effort to get something nice and I’m willing to put the effort (and money) in but it’s stuff like this that annoys me so will take a breather, pop out to the cinema for...

Ffs! So stupid. The PH pen was new and didn’t need calibration. Just recalibrated and the PH reading is now around 6.7! Sorry guys, obviously trusted manufacturer to say calibrated from factory. But learnt my lesson the very hard way. Will take reading tonight after co2 off and see...

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Retook PH, Co2 on at 2am PH 7.6 PH at 8:30am 7.3 Bps 8 Will stop power head now and retake in 1hr. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ooh thanks. Just did slow mo video against a timer on my wife’s phone. 10bps it seems not 6. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really, the manufacturer spec says 30-40psi. The current psi is around 44, my regulator can’t go up that far. Will turn it down after doing the other test, need to make sure I change one thing at a time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah yes that’s there. Yeah my mistake changing two things. Right start from fresh. Yesterday I reconnected everything checked leaks, in particular recut the co2 tubing, as the original cut was with scissors. I also stopped the powerhead. However I will start powerhead so the only change is...

Are you talking about the bottom end of the bubble counter? If so I have not taken that apart, It just screws on and off, nothing else there. I’ll take a picture when I’m back home. Even though there’s a good improvement by switching off the powerhead it’s still taken 7hrs to get a 0.7PH...

Found the post if anyone is interested. https://ukaps.org/forum/threads/melting-marsilea-hirsuta-staurogyne-repens.28996/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well this is interesting, left it yday around 6bps reconnected everything but switched off the powerhead. This morning at 8:45 the drop checker was near lime green and PH was measured around 6.86. The PH at 2am was 7.55. I’ve emailed Co2art and sent them a lot of pictures and videos but the...

Apologies for not being clear, but I was referring to the bubble counter and it’s cap, screwed that back on, tightened it, but it always seems to be able to go a little more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for the informative post. I’ve recut the co2 tubing and refitted the tubing to the bubble counter, there is a washer there and it is seated properly as far as I can see. I’ve have screwed the top back on and tightened, but it always seems it can be tightened more. Is that normal...

Yes the original tank only last a few days. May have been a leak or may just been a near empty tank to begin with. I’m not sure but I received a replacement and this is what I’m using now and it’s been fine. Additional information which I didn’t mention, I’ve used this before on my 25l tank...

Out of interest am I right in saying even if I had leak before the bubble counter it shouldn’t effect the rest of the system apart from wasting gas?? I just need to pump more to get a particular bps? A leak after the bubble counter is where symptoms like mine could appear? Saying that I’ve...

Thanks Andrew, yes sticking to changing one thing at a time where possible. I’ve stuck in an in tank diffuser and dialled the bps down to 6 for the reasons you stated above. Still comes on at 2am and this morning at 8:15 it’s PH is 7.3 - 7.25. So a slightly better drop than previously. For...
