    I recently purchased a used calcium reactor. I am getting it dialed in and I recently noticed the bubble counter on the CO2 regulator has a tiny leak. I have a new one coming, but out of curiosity what oil do they use for the counter and how many folks just use RO/DI water in place of the oil?

    I use RO/DI but you can use food grade USP white mineral oil.
