    Have a Korallin C-10002 and recently the CO2 bubbler slowly shuts off over time. I adjust the needle valve and it starts up again, then I'll come back to find no bubbles again. It's acting like pressure is building up against the gas flow, but both effluent lines are running fine. Anybody have a similar problem?

    Actually, figured it out after the post. It was a corroded 1-way valve on the CO2 line.
