#@$% Leaking Diffusser

[dan2x38]

I am not sure why but my DIY inline CO2 diffuser was leaking. Sitting watching the news this morning thought geese the water is splashing awful load. Past several days tanks have not been taken care of tanks much getting ready for the auction so water was low but this seemed lower than yesterday. So figured I should take a look and low and beeping behold it was leaking and several gallons had leaked behing a 75 gal but showing YET on the carpet in front. Wife is going to kill me again... been killed several times over now!  Quckly removed it than added a small in tank diffuser.

Closer look a fitting at the bottom was leaking. Odd it worked fine for a month?

Put a fan and a heater out and maybe she won't notice.   I've flooded the basement a few times and had to buy a wet dry vac - it came in handy with the water pouring in from outside on the rainy day (I've ticked off water Gods in a past life).

The tanks are big to lift the carpet up so its scary to think whats under it.

Sucks Dan

If you use a shamWow you might be able to get most of that water back in the tank...

Sorry Dan.. This is the hobby though! If you need the pipe cemenet to seal the inline diffuser (reactor?), let me know - I've got leftover from the ones I've built.
