Re: It Starts - again...
Well just made the rounds with my CO2 Reactor and cannot find a good solution to bring it to 3/4 inch... If you look at this diagram, you would think you could swap out Part #2 for a different barb size - but the threading is not like anything I could find...
 Plan B is to see if my tiny Eheim Ecco (the smallest one they make) will run it. Place C is use a Glass Diffusor and Rio 90 until I figure out a better plan.

Re: It Starts - again...
Dan, On my new 30 set up. I have a glass diffuser right under the filter intake and about 90% of the bubbles go right into the intake.
You may want to try that out instead of using the Rio so scatter them around the tank, it will be 90% reactor and 10% glass diffuser.

Re: It Starts - again...
I wonder how well this Eheim would take to chewing bubbles
 could be an expensive experiment...

Re: It Starts - again...
It just makes it recalculate every so often when it senses bubbles near the impeller and might do the pulse setup to kick them freel "cool feature".

Re: It Starts - again...
would remaining at your current fittings really hamper your CO2 that much? Do you absolutely need to fix it? Or is it even broken?

Re: It Starts - again...
well I used to use twp XP3's - the one with the reactor made less than 1/2 the current of the other. I was using reducers into the CO2 Reactor...

Re: It Starts - again...
Plan for the moment is to use my Rio 90 and a small diffusor for a couple of days while I figure out how to get the reactor hooked up again...

Re: It Starts - again...
That looks BAD ASS
 Like the new floor also. Looks like you moved into a new house in the same place.

Re: It Starts - again...
well, seeing as I was making good progress today, I decided to add the substrate, various ada additives and the rocks. I have been wanting to do a kind of "rocks in front" thing for a while. Hopefully the won't all get completely buried in plants in the next couple of months. Here is my first pass with the rest of my seiryu stone:
   ok - this time I am really done for the day...
