Diffuser

Hi i new in planted aquarium

I just install my co2 system ... However I had been waiting for 1 day, no bubble came out from the diffuser??

However when I just put the tube in the tank , there is bubble.

May I know what happened?

1. Check your pressure gauge maybe the tank is low in CO2 or no more CO2 gas therefore unable to force the gas through the diffuser.

2. Check your diffuser is it covered by algue sometimes diffuser becomes jammed by algue. Then it is time to clean up your diffuser.

Boss thanks for the advice but I just brought it

Check that ypur entire CO2 setup is not leaking when connected to the diffusor. Every joint from the guages to valves to bubble counter, etc.

If you have a dual gauge regulator, one quick way is to turn open the main valve and needle valve. Both guages should show current readings. Then close the main valve, but leave the needle valve open. Leave it overnight. If there is any leak in the regulator or joints, there should be a drop in one of the gauge readings. If there is, you then start to narrow down.

what kind of diffuser you bought, if intense type you need a higher pressure rating
