if it wasn't a leak, you may be bubbling too much, but without water
parameters, can't tell ya... the only way I can get water pushed out of the
diffuser is to open the regulator wide open, where it's pushign more CO2 out
than the water can 'absorb'

post your water parameters, your tap water and some guru here will chime
in..

Hi All,
Two weeks ago I've bought my first pressurized CO2 system - effect was
tremendous!
The sad thing it that the bottle(500grams) is now empty - frustrating...
The pressure was about 0.8 bar, bubble per second till you could not count
bubbles anymore - water pushed out from the diffuser PH 6.8 plants and
fish
are happy. Did I do anything wrong in the setup ?
Vendor claims that it should last for 3 up to 8 months - depends on usage.
Is there a problem with the regulator ?
