When you first set up the reactor, do NOT add CO2 for at least 48 hours. Open the effluent valve to wide open, and allow the air bubbles that form to dissipate.

Start with 5 bubbles per minute. If you overshoot with the reactor, you have to shut it down and start all over. This is why you should also make increases in CO2 slowly; no more than 5BPM in a 48 hour period; let the reactor settle in between changes.
