Help Needed: Fluval Co2 20G Kit

[heovang]

Hi all

I am running into a problem here.

I bought my Fluval Mini pressurised Kit 20g for my 6 gallon tanks. I followed the instruction carefully on the manual but do not know if I have done it correctly at the part filling up the chambers.

When I turn the valve slowly to fill the water in the chambers, all I can see is loads of big bubbles with loud noise come out. Is that correct ?

Also does the air (empty part) in the chamber represents for CO2 in there ? As I can see water still in the chambers as well.

Have anybody got any suggestions on complete newbie to Co2 kit ? That including Co2 glass diffuser too ?

Thank you for your help

i just getting in to co2 my self i bought one of these kits to adn chucked most of it away, as for the chamber thing this is the problem i had so i just made a home made defuser with a old little filter i had lying around. if you look on you tube they is loads of ideas on there. i just use a bubble counter and open the valve so i get 1 bubble a second. i run this on trigon 300 but my tank is lightly plated. i have had no problems for they last mouth. and the plants need cutting down every 2 to 3 days.hope this helps
