Aquarium Pro CO2 Injection, bubble counter

[lcabrita]

Discúlpeme mi ignorancia, que liquido le pone en el contador de burbujas ? Gracias por su respuesta...

A solenoid works along with a pH monitor. Basically one sets a desired pH (Milwaukee ph monitor), say 7.0, once the water reaches that ph the solenoid stops the co2 from being injected into the tank. BTW, is it necessary to use profanity when asking a question?

wtf does a solenoid do?

Hi tony, the paintball cylinders come equipped with CGA320 valves which is not the same valve as what is used for CO2 regulators. In Australia it's called a AS2473 Type 30 thread type. I am yet to see a CO2 regulator that screws straight into a paintball valve. I think it would be a good idea. Especially considering im sitting on about 3000 Australian approved cylinders exactly like the one you have there. By the way where did you get it from, it might have originated from me :)

@adamlovesfish The US uses CGA320 as the standard valve although you would still need an adapter for paintball canisters because the majority come with different type of valve.

hi, im new so can u help me how to set up the co2 tank? i bought a 22oz paintball co2 tank now i cant find the regulator for it.

[adamlovesfish]

It really depends on how large your cylinder capacity is. My smallest ones are 540g and that lasts between 5-6months at 2 drop/sec 10hrs/day. My estimation for usage is approx 1.1kg per year at the above drop count. You may have a silent leak at a connection point. Best way to find leaks is using a spray bottle with soapy water and spray lightly on all connections and look for bubbles.

hi how long does ur CO2 pressurized gas become empty? (in average), because i have to refill my CO2 after 1 month

thx u

[whatscrakn101]

whats the solution in the bubble counter ?

[lingking]

How about something to tell us how you made it?

[yournamehere954]

Hi. What do you fill the tank with and where do you get it filled??

[NeonAera]

Good video example of the bubble counter.

[adamlovesfish]

Yes this is how you take compressed CO2 at approximately 900psi/25deg and deliver it into your aquarium as bubbles.

where can i find buble counter with needle regulator?

thanks

What why do u need that air for? dont u have the thing that makes bubbles already in the fish tank? im so lost!

[cichlidkeeper89]

its not air, its co2 (carbon dioxide)

it keeps the plants alive in the aquarium.

[NamesROverated]

this is carbon dioxide for the plants, normal air is just for the fish

[bigtommyballs6534]

nice what make are the gauges and bubble counter im after buying one like that

[HITMANVQ35]

This is really cool. I'm a hobbyist myself back in the day

Is this how you feed the plants with CO2?

[adamlovesfish]

Yes it is. It's the process of taking compressed liquid CO2 held at pressures of approximately 900psi, regulating it down to 30psi and then further regulating it via a needle valve down to bubbles as seen in this clip. Glad you like it. Hope it helps get you back into the hobby.
