Default Co2 bubble problem

For some reason I can't get single bubble to form only minute bubbles probably in the hundreds. Every thing is working and if open the needle valve I get two much co2 in the reactor. Anyone had this issue? This is a calcium reactor questions for any newbies reading this.

Cranked the pressure from 2.5 to 4.5 and large bubbles are forming so far. nice one Mark. I did try it before but I wussed out and only turned it up in small amounts.

First by no means take my word on this. There are some regular co2 reactor uses on the board, including Brad and they can speak better of this than I. Trying to remember what I ran mine at but it was a long time ago,

I thought it was close to 14psi but would need to find some of my old threads to check. I did find info thread from Melev,s Reef, {the worlds best source of information}, .

Check it out for now perhaps, until some season reactor users get their two bits worth in.
