Hi,
i have just setup my pres Co2 on my tank, the reactor i use is hooked up to the out take pipe on the cannister. When the co2 is going in its pushing tiny bubbles out of the spray bar in the tank. Is this what its meant to do. Is this reactor disolving the co2 propley. Then the tiny bubbles release to the top of the tank and burst.

your bubble rate might be too high for your reactor, my tunze relises very tiny bubbles almost like a mist buth the never reach the top (well almost never)

its working fine becuase my ph is droping slowly to 6.8 and there are heaps of tinny bubbles building up under the glass edges. I move my spray bar down and pointed it towards the sand more and that has made a huge difference less bubbles. Im only running 1-2 bubbles per sec.
