CO2 Regulator, Which one holds the bubble count?

manofcoral · 08/21/2009, 07:33 AM

I have a large tank with lots of sps, so I must use a Ca reactor. But, I am so sick of constant adjustments of the bubble count even more then twice a day. Can anyone tell me a good Co2 regulator that hold the bubble count steady? Yes I know I can get a ph controller, but they are expensive, and I am trying to keep this system simple. Thanks in advance.

Even with best regulator your ph will fluctuate since ph in your tank is going up when lights are on and down when lights are off. It is only .1-.2 ph so your reactor should be ok if you set it at 6.5-6.7 ph

Electronic - Set it to exact count.

Thanks catman78. I ordered one today. It sound like it really is going to take a load off my mind. I will report how it works out for me to everyone. It's like going from analog to digital. Thanks again.

+1 for the electronic. I have run one for about 4 months and it is rock solid.
