CO2 not in balance

[Nigel95]

Okay the CO2 doesn't stay in balance. Everyday I have to turn the output further to get the same amount of CO2 (40-50 bpm).

I have replaced the regulator 3 times so it can't be this one. I checked EVERYTHING with soap 3 times no leaks.

The pressure is in the 'good' zone and stays there.

Wtf could be wrong??????

Broken diffusor? Bubble counter? Magnet valve????

Are your plants growing? So more plant mass
The faster they grow along with more plant mass the more CO2 they will use

He uses BPM (bubble per minute), not PPM. The BPM should stay quite stable.

I use CO2 reactors, the BPM will be a bit faster at the start and will get a bit slower and stays there after a few hours. But it seems he uses a diffuser. I don't know what would be the culprit for his problem.

Whats the pressure stating for green zone? On the output gauge?

22 psi is max in 'green zone'. Idk why it is so low. What could happen If I turn higher?

Is it an in tank diffuser? These usually run quite low psi. Mine is running 40psi for an inline diffuser

Yeah in tank diffuser. I bumped the pressure from 1,5 to 2 bar (30 psi) let's see if it works. I also have an inline diffuser so I could use both which do you recommend?

My mistake opps

Just some of the in tank diffusers dont require the higher pressure. I think the bazooka and inline among other require more pressure to get going

Does the bubble counter have a built-in non-return valve? Sometimes faulty non-return valves used in bubble counters may get stuck and make the bubble count irregular.
