+Dogfish Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I agree. Too much pressure not good. My tank water enters the pvc just before the recirculating pump. My Co2 comes into the pvc as the water gets sucked back to the pump. This prob causes some suction on the Co2 pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limit the incoming flow and control the outflow, That should work hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
