Hi,
I installed a UP Inline Diffuser today (could be a fake). Now I assume that because it needs more pressure because of the way it works, that it will need an increased bubble rate is that correct?
The reason that I ask is that I am now using 6bps and at the moment the DC is still blue!
I changed over to a long diy spray bar along the back wall at a depth of about 2", with a New Wave 1.6 running at 800lph each at either end and a cheap 200lph submersible in the middle. There appears to be good flow but there is a good few bubbles reaching the surface.
It appears I may have to use a lot more bps for this inline method....does that sound right?
Just had a thought, as there were no instructions and this sounds like a stupid question.
Have I got it installed right?
I have the hose from the filter going into the narrower end and the hose coming out of the wider end with the co2 tube next to it going into the tank, is that correct?
If that is correct I do not know what is happening as I have the bubble counter so fast I cannot count the bubbles and still not much happening.
