Anyone here use a Dupla 400 CO2 reactor?

Should the black ladder thats inside the reactor have just water in around it or a mixture of water and gas?

How many bubbles a minute should I be starting at for a 4x2x2?

The bubble count in the reactor gives a different count than the inline bubble counter. Which one do I use?

Boy oh boy I'll be glad when I have mastered this :(

Use the bubble rate from the bubble counter, easier to read. i use a reactor s at 5bps i see some gas but mostly water in the reactor.

for 4X2X2 Id go 3-4 bps.

Sorry to sound like an idiot here.....but do you mean 3-4 Bubbles Per Second?? The guy at the shop I bought it off told me to use 10-15 bubble per MINUTE.....no wonder its been going all day and my p.H hasn't come down.
