I have a C-3002 calcium reactor that stopped producing bubbles. I got a new CO2 cylinder, replaced the check valve & air tube and it worked fine for about 3 days before the bubbles stopped again.

I unplugged the line after the check valve, turned purple and got dizzy before I managed to get a very small amount of air into the bubble counter.

Being a Korallin, it's a sealed chamber. Anyone know a fix or am I looking at having to replace it? Here's what it looks like

Did you purchase a new bubble counter assembly?
 
I think these brass check valves may be prone to sticking. I got a plastic check valve with my carbon doser, which works, where the brass valve would not. I think they can be serviced, however.
