how long have you been using this co2 reactor and do you have any problem with it? cuz mine builds up air space (or I dont know wether it is CO2) at the top of the reactor. can you help me please. thanks!
If you have a considerable amount of plants, which you do, and you're injecting enough CO2, which you are, the 02 from the plants will supply more than enough oxygen for the fish during the day. At night, when the plants aren't photosynthesizing, you can aerate if you find your fish gasping. But with that much surface agitation, you're probably losing 30-50 percent of what you inject right off. Do you have a drop checker or ability to test for hardness and pH? Very nice injector, BTW.
@bucketheadisamaster You're right, the air bubbles work against the CO2, but it is needed for the fishes.
I plan to change the to an external filter with enough power to make ripples on the surface, so it could solve enough O2 into the water, without affecting the CO2.

if you inject co2 to water why do you inject normal air too??or im wrong?
