Cheers pal, I've been taking some from hoggie for a few months to keep me ticking over, 7 litres mate;-) you could go into business making pre mixed glut with that much, yep I'll try 2% with my 1st mix, see how it fares, thanks Ali Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk

Finally managed to get hold of a litre of Glut 50%. After reading the whole thread a couple of times, i understand most people have been mixing up solutions at 1.5% i.e. 30ml to 970ml water for a litre batch also there has been much discussion about not much happenning with this concentration...

Oh wow just realized its 5 litres:clap:

cheers Troi, i'll look to see what's available, Big Clown, you're most probably spot on mate, at least if I get a litre it will last me a good while:)

Anyone still buying Glut from Bonnymans? I need to purchase some as nearly out of pre mixed liquid c02, lookied on the link from page 1 and it says out of stock but the price quoted was over £27... Really need to order something in th next few weeks before i'm totally out, anyone help? Cheers

Hi, when I was adjusting my cO2 to find the happy level for flora and fauna I too experienced stressed fish with a too high level, as you say, just turning it down won't immediately give the fish any respite. What I've done in this situation is to place a fairly large airstone in the tank for...

Cool, right my turn now:-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

I'm soon in need of cleaning one of mine and am also quite new to these, haven't yet cleaned one. Would it work if I attached an air pump to the cO2 inlet of the inline and pushed the declorinated water through or wouldn't there be enough pressure from it to get through the membrane? Sent from...

Dude, how tall is your BOC 5kg with reg attached? Need to see if one will fit my cabinet;-) Cheers Clive Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Again, it has been similar to Ady, about 9 week's running a single UP inline in a 260 litre, however, I have recently split my cO2 to both filters and 2 inlines so I would expect my 2kg FE to run out sooner:-o Need to get s 5 kg if it will fit in my cabinet I think;-) Sent from my LT30p using...

Hi yes it's mist likely because the FE and reg are in my right side cabinet so there is minimal tubing required to set up the inline diffuser from the filter in this same side, however to reach the inline diffuser in the left hand side cabinet there is 3 x Tue length of cO2 tube, I'm using...

Conger, I've The JBL regulator at 3 bar at the moment, testing and I can reduce to 2.5 bar with both UP inlines working, although I maybe having issues with setting both bubble counters the same rate, thinking I need to clean my original diffuser, only been in two weeks though but the New one...

Indeed I can:-) cheers pal, all on and working, just finding it difficult to get both bubble counters running same number, my. Left sided counter was my existing bubble counter and if I close the right side needle valve I can push through as much as possible into a constant stream of bubbles...

Agree with foxfish, I have a 260 and can't count the bubbles, as of today I have just a single up inline pumping Gas, tomorrow I'll hopefully nail the postie for my long awaited second inline, so when I add this after splitting my cO2 between my 2 filters and use 2 bubble counters I presume I...

New manifold has arrived from Germany :-) Should receive my additional up inline and tubing from Richard at AE tomorrow;-) hope it won't leak, it's quite heavy so may have to diy some sort of a wooden housing for it inside the cabinet. Iain, although it all seems squarely put together I...

Ok will do, no worries:-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Hi Conger, I'm in the same boat, waiting on delivery of the two way manifold, just need an additional inline diffuser and an extra bubble counter this week hopefully:-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

I like your humour dude:-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Iain, these do sound interesting, will need to investigate on the laptop after my water change is done thanks:-D Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Thanks Troi, this is what I'm currently using, not had best quality unfortunately, fancy a change :-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Cheers George, I'm leaning towards these as they're cheap as chips and I do need some more tubing from Richard also;-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Cheers chaps, funniest enough they were two on my shortlist but sort of needed a push:-D Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

I too have this reg, it's not let me down since I git it 4 month's ago, I had issues with an Easy Aqua reg along with another forum member, working pressure kept bouncing around, the needle never sat still and after checking for leaks a dozen times gave up with it as the fluctuating level of co2...

I will soon be needing another bubble counter as will be splitting my co2 line, I currently use the Easy Aqua Professional bubble counter with double check valves, Now I have a few issues with this, it's is working fine now but ptfe is my friend! It's inline which is nice and tidy, keeping the...

we chase the same dragon;) keep smiling dude

Hi, Just wondering if you have resolved these issues or still suffering inconsistant co2 bubbles/misting? cheers:)

surely this wouldn't make any difference, the rubber seals are going to get the same amount of co2 whether it's injected before or after the filter, it's just diffused more but still there, I wouldn't have thought the fact that the gas is still in suspension or not would make any difference to...

Dude, this is exactly what I went through for months, issues with regs, changed to JBL eventually and then still had fluctuating bubble count, I just whipped everything off and added bits back one at a time, testing flow of gas after each addition, it was all mu easy aqua double check valves and...

I had similar issues for a couple of months with an Easy Aqua adjustable reg and solenoid, in the end after replacing it with another the same I bit the bullet and bought a JBL, only issue I have had since is my check valves and bubble counters, again both Easy Aqua with screw down tube...

cheers Steve, yes I saw these on AE's site and emailed Richard to ask if they would be suitable for running with high working pressure systems, i'm currently in a mess having found out my UP inline atomiser is leaking today and only been on for a few hours, had to strip down and replace an...

i've had a 7 hour nightmare today, 3 out of 4 brand new check valves I had in reserve have all leaked from the centre of the units where the two capped ends are screwed together, I took one apart and inside sits a rubber diaphram attached to a spring, this sits on the gas entry side but couldn't...

Anyone recommend a check valve in place of these which have screw fittings to lock the tubing? thanks

Double check valve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia here's the reason why they're called double check valves, it's got 2 check valves assembled in series in case one fails, not one for either end or direction.

I suppose the plus side is i've had no water backflow issues!:) I may call the missus and ask her to give my check valve a blow but she might get the wrong idea:wideyed:

right you'll laugh now then, I ask as i've been having issues with co2 since December! even bought a new JBL reg and solenoid, been running but still not happy with flow and bubble rate being adjusted by the needle valve, using UP inline atomiser 2.5 - 2.75 bar, I can get a steady stream of...

I am confused as to which way round they should go, if it makes any difference? http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/easy-aqua-double-check-valve-p-5666.html You will see that there is a small rim running round the centre piece as shown in the picture, on the packaging there is a small pic showing...

Are you sure everything is fited tightly, no leaks mate? do the soapy water check around the fittings etc, one option would be to purchase an inline needle valve and have this running after the reg with the dodgy valve on your reg open fully and therefore the gas being controlled by your new...

just wondering if you managed to find a quality inline needle valve in the end?

This would do me too Mike, i'm from Weston, work in Bristol and can't find anywhere yet, if I do i'll keep you in the know mate.

That's great many thanks, I'll be ordering spare check valves before I change my reg and up inline atomiser. thanks hoggie

Hi Hoggie, thanks for your reply, yes I presumed this would be my route as i'm having no luck in removing the nut from the regulator, it seems fixed to me. This method with the short length of c02 tube is good then yep? only asking as not used it before, my previous regs have all had the...

Hi, I have just received my new jbl m001 reg and v002 solenoid. I'm having difficulty attaching the two directly together. Following the instructions, I have successfully removed the hose connection on the input side of the solenoid but cannot remove the same from the regulator, no matter how...

fantastic work just what I need!;) I've a 4 foot Fluval Vicenza and diffusers just aren't cutting the mustard. how much to make me one lol:rolleyes:

I have this problem too and also have the Easy Aqua dual guage reg with the easy Aqua bubble counter with double check valves. I've only been set up with this for 2 weeks from new and can't regulate my c02. I either get a really low bubble count of say 1 bps or if increased I get a nice...

Anyone know of a refill place Near Weston-Super-Mare, or I could travel to Bristol if necessary thanks
