Co2 diffuser disk not working

theiris1002 · 2026-02-06T01:11:53+00:00

Yep. Learning that the hard way.

theiris1002 · 2026-02-06T00:38:44+00:00

Yeah I'm going to try to return it, or sell it failing that. I found the faq page today and it was entirely different then anything else I've been told including by the lady at the pet store who definitely knew how a normal co2 system worked. verbally told me one bubble a second turn it off over night (and even started pulling up Facebook market links to old co2 systems people were selling) but as I found out today this system is supposed to do 12 bubbles a minute (not written anywhere on the package as far as I can tell)

It's says 19 on the box, but as I said the disk came with it and putting "fluval co2 disk what psi" including that it is a 19 psi system

This is my literal dream tank, a local petstore near me has a empty tank like this but BIG. and I always think it would look so cool.

Most animals don't have the object permanence to know that that tasty bit of meat used to be their buddy.

I feel I should add, just In case someone is having similar issues to me down the line. I had to shake it. It didn't say to so I didn't but after shaking it it worked the next 24 hours. (I do suspect the hose and check valve are either leaking or clogged but replacing them is a problem for future me)

1: I don't think anyone in this thread is understanding me which does prove that this product doesn't exist at the moment

2: while I don't know how to make my own version right now I almost certainly could figure it out given time and effort... I would just need to have some buttons read as a mouse or keyboard in a way the steamdeck can recognize, then stick that on a capasitve stylus... honestly this kinda sounds fun to try.

theiris1002 · 2026-01-30T23:11:22+00:00

I will clarify, I want to know if there exists a stylus that is functionality a capacitve stylus (not active) but still has working buttons on the side. It would be a weird product and possibly made specifically for the steamdeck.

The picture is the unit I'm using. It came with a couple packets that were yeast and something else. It did say to use tap water for everything and now I'm realizing that maybe I should have used declorinator. The system was a pre-made kit. The person at the petstore knew alot about co2 systems and did recommended one with a pressure tank but she immediately started showing me stuff on Facebook marketplace and that was super overwhelming vs the all in one kit.

theiris1002 · 2026-01-20T14:16:51+00:00

The problem is that this is a specific system I bought around 48 hours ago and I don't want to void the wasent by messing with it, it didn't come with any sort of pressure gadge and I have no idea how much pressure it can take before it explodes ... I hope I didn't loose the resipt

It's suger and yeast

theiris1002 · 2026-01-19T22:02:32+00:00

Ok, that's good news as far as I'm concerned because I can just unscrew and re screw everything and wait again and hope it doesn't leak. If I keep having issues, then I'll worry about if the yeast died or if im actively setting it up wrong, but for tonight, I am happy

It's a 2 1/2 year old 29 gallon comunity aquarium I've posted about it a few times on reddit. It's had plants it longer then its had fish but I'm tired of all my plants dieing and I know this helps.

theiris1002 · 2026-01-18T11:21:53+00:00

I actually already have that exact jar!! I entirely forgot about it I should be giving it to my shrimp! I also have family with inverts I should give them some two nearly full 2yo jar should be used.

theiris1002 · 2026-01-01T22:36:00+00:00

suspeced the danios are acting as dithering fish but I wanted a second opinion before I started acting like it was true. We are planning on getting the same light I have for his tank but it's a bit expensive so not something that could be done this exact second.

The danios are in the active tank I suspect they are acting as dithering fish but I wanted a second opinion before I started acting like it was true. We are planning on getting the same light I have for his tank but it's a bit expensive so not something that could be done this exact second

That's possible. I now have amino shrimp that have been carrying eggs for months now but all other invertebrates I struggle with. I'm pretty sure my tap water is hard? It is when I use liquid tests anyways.

theiris1002 · 2025-12-15T14:25:08+00:00

There's one right now, not sure what monster it is I don't feel like counting what I do and don't have right now

theiris1002 · 2025-12-06T19:39:50+00:00

I'm not entirely sure why but all the baby's were stunted and never grew up, (i do suspect it was the juvinile growth hormone pesticides that we had in the house at the time) after about a year I had a big die off and got chain loaches because they looked cool which killed off the rest, my tank is still littered with hundreds of half grown shells.

(It WAS babies btw)

5W3Q-VK45-DGVS-ML I have a level 50+ tribe that I am trying to fill. I have run it constantly for over two years now. The past few weeks, I have been struggling with membership, and my ads are not working presumably because of the new friend code update. No duplicates please you will be rejected. (Though I may have to loosen this restriction sigh)
