Co2 Inline Diffuser

when using an inline Co2 diffuser what is the best what to check the Co2 level? I have a drop checker which is just visible and API kg & gh test kit...since there is no bubble counter..Thanks

 

Bumping this up for you

 

thanks

 

I guess I would just run it from co2 tank to bubble counter then over to the inline diffuser...

 

Been looking into this myself (for curiosity's sake).

I think you can just put a bubble counter in before it adds to the diffuser.

 

that's what I have now..

Is it an atomiser or a reactor? Can you post a picture?

 

this what I ordered, but they sent 1/2" mine takes 3/4"..

 

I am not familiar with that particular atomiser, some of them require quite a bit of pressure (30-40 psi) to produce bubbles.
A drop checker is what I use to estimate CO2 level in the tank. I must admit that it is not the best way since actual CO2 bubbles can enter the airspace giving higher readings (like 30 ppm CO2 when the tank water has less). Ideally, the drop checker should measure previously dissolved CO2 (like when you use a reactor).
The position of the drop checker (away from diffuser) should minimize the error.

 

I have a drop checker in my tank now, I was running a DIY co2, but now I picked up a 10# & regulator with silonoid .
