Water deletion issue (critter drowner)

[Bardagh]

I've used this design before & gotten it to work without deleting water, but now every time it runs the water level goes down. Help?

Looks fine functionality wise.

May be time for a new design. 

It's likely being crushed due to co2.

Try giving room for the gas to escape. 

Air tiles along the left side wall an see if it still deletes water.

That's probably it. I had to rebuild some of it from memory - I vaguely remember something about air tiles. I'll give it a try, thanks.

Found the problem: I had the logic reversed, so they were closing all at once and opening in staggered time rather than the other way around. I installed airflow tiles & a carbon skimmer further down, just in case, though.

Oh! I used filter gates instead of buffer gates *facepalm*

Hmm, wonder if there is a use for that.

Maybe some type of critter elevator. 

Moving debrie?

Completely missed the obvious issues lol.
