Perhaps there is some clue you forgot to mention to us or perhaps you could try to increase the bps higher... ** be careful and watch out for fishes gasping for air at the top of the aquarium **

Mine is about the same. There's always some amount of C02 in the reactor but no bubbles escape. I get 100% diffusion. I'm using that green colour reactor but I glued it together and I'm using inline instead of inside the tank. Click here is you want to read about it.



Hehe, no lah I don't have fish gasping for air. I have a PH of 6.4 with around 40ppm of C02.

Perhaps your water flow is too slow and not dissolving the C02 fast enough? Overdrive is right, you should ONLY reduce your PH with addition of C02.
