It sounds to me like the Co2 is actually still set WAY too high. Turning it way up then back down for the temp correction doesn't work because of that effect mentioned above (vaugely by myself, and elaborated by Jim).
I'd bet that the constant stream means that the gas is going through so fast it can't form nice big seperate bubbles, it's just a stream. Think dripping faucet vs water blasting out of the faucet.
If I were you, I'd close the needle valve until the flow stops, or goes down to just a few bpm, then let it sit overnight and see where it's at.
Annoying as it would be, you can always keep the levels up with 2 part until the reactor is dialed in, but if the reactor is cranked up too high and you get a big dino problem started - well that's a lot more of a PITA to deal with.
