Why would a CO2 counter not bubbling?

[Aqua Pro Builder]

I have an old calcium reactor that has been sitting around for about for half year. The feed pumup is working and I can see water going in and out, the recirculating pump is working and I can see media rumble. I plug in the CO pump and open the CO2 tank half day later, the counter has no bubbles. What's wrong?

Thanks.

if you have one of these regulors you may have to twist the black knob until there is enogh pressure

regulators spring on the inside maybey stuck closed since it wasnt on for awhile during power outages mine would do that after all your trying try tapping it with a wrench lol : ) worked for me but got rid of it after it did that if it sticks it could be very bad by not working when ur not looking.

Thanks for the info.

I do have the black knob in another reactor, but this Burmuda reactor I have does not and thus confused me in finding what I forgot to do. It's actually the metal valve at the counter that I did not twist it powerful enough to open it.


Thanks everyone for helping out.

And if you have one of those brass check valves on your CO2 line you might want to check that because they do get stuck, I know from experience. Good luck
