I've tried lowering the regulator output pressure so that I could open the valve more, but again I get weird effects when I do that. Ie., either the bubble rate stops altogether, or the reactor effluent stops .. stuff like that.
I'm all for using less CO2 though so if the answer involves moving to a different needle valve I would consider that. |
Sorry , I should have been more clear.
I use a Milwaukee reg & solenoid w/bubble counter . Glycerin in bubble counter . 1/4" needle valve for effluent. I have a Geo 612 reactor & run at a PH of 6.5.
Also just added a second chamber , so effluent runs thru vertex reactor body filled with media & overflows into sump - trying to raise tank ph , seems to work.
