yeah I would add a check valve from the regulator to the bubble counter. A couple of other things I would try to get would be a peristaltic pump to deal with the water delivery and an electronic bubble counter such as the carbon doser from aquariumplants.com

Might consider a shut off on the gas recirculation line. It had been a problematic source of excess air in reactor in my experience. May be okay for you but since setting up now it's an easy add on you may want. I have a couple reef octo reactors. Tkracers advice is expert imo. --Greg
