Re: co2 questoin

You shouldn't be able to hear the water trickle through the reactor. When you do it is normally caused by air in the top of the reactor. Did you install a bleed valve in the top of the reactor to bleed out any air? If not I would think it would eventually dissipate into the water column. As far as the bio balls, IMO they are not only unneccesary, but do nothing but restrict the flow through the reactor. As far as whether or not it is working, if the co2 is going into the reactor and you aren't getting any bubbles out of the filter output, then it is working fine, just use a drop checker to monitor co2 levels. That is the beauty of the clear pvc though, you can actually watch the co2 dissipate in the reactor itself. Hope this helps.

There are dedicated regulators for the paintball cans.....anything else is gonna leak.
