Method of dissolution+tank size+high/med/low tech+co2 levels and stocking?

I run a 2" diameter x 15" long pvc rexx grigg reactor plumbed into a xp3, 40b, high tech, still tweaking bps and moderately stocked.

I don't see any bubbles apart from a few pin needle sized, compared to a diffuser its incredibly more efficient!

I am trying to set up Rex reactor 2"x30" with a Mag 7 to see if I can get better faster dissolve.

I liked my ista until it got too noisy. Replaced the ista with a gla inline but its defective so I'm not sure if I like it yet. One day when I have time I'm going to build a rex grigg reactor, probably in summer when illegal need to clean the gla, never head anything negative about them.

I've tried all the types of diffusers on the market. Even made my own reactor diffusers. The type I use now is a inline Atomizer from my canister. I takes high pressure to run it. You need threaded connectors for all the hoses even the one-way valve needs threaded connectors or it will blow the hoses off connection. This Atomizer has a membrane that co2 can only pass it under high pressure. The co2 that goes through it is so fine you can hardly see it. It looks like white haze in the water.

Got my gla inline diffuser up and running and I really like it. Running at half the bps ss my ista to reach the same saturation per my drop checker and none of the noise. On a side note gla has been one of the easiest/best companies I've ever dealt with from a custom service aspect.

Second the atomic used it for years best I have used. Best part is no big diffuser in the tank.
