Well I am new at this tooo so there is no doubt I am doing something wrong.

I am using an AquaMedic 500 reactor/disfuser....I assume it is hooked up right. The gas can be seen rising in the thing which is what it suppose to do...then it exits the output ...in the form of the gas mixed with the water...I see no (at least with my eyes) visible gas leaving the thing so I am assuming that it has be absorbed by the water. If I crank the co2 up really high large bubbles of co2 escape from the reactor...not a good thing...but I did it to see what the reaction would be.

I wonder if all needle valves and bubble counters are not created equal....is it possible that my bubbles are larger or smaller than other people?? I know that the true indicator would be watching the ph...mine will go from 7 to 6 over a period of time using the co2.
I have been busy the last two weeks so I have not been able to look at this stuff closer but I will have some time soon.

My "leak" is gone...my tank has not loss any great amount of gas since I made a few hose changes. I am operatng at about 2 bubbles a sec righ now.
will have to keep closer tabs on the ph and see what happens there.
