Bubbles Per Second

[tr0p1cal]

Hi there my tank is 4x2x2 and i jsut bought the jbl 602, i wondering how many bubbles per minute people are having roughly, and if you are running a 500g cannister how long its lasting you. Atm im on about 10 per minute and my co2 checker isnt chaning at all, its et at the other end of the tank. im wondering if its not reading it before my ciculation isnt great. or is it a bad place to position it just above the filter outtake? at the other end of the tank.

many thanks

Not sure what a jbl 602 is but I have a twenty gallon tank that I run at 90 bubbles per minute. I use an co2 indicator and plant health to determine that rate. You probably need 20X the number of bubbles that you have now.

Make sure you have plenty of flow in the tank. That is a lot of space to distribute the co2 and ferts.

yer reading around i need to up that alot, im gonna up it to 1 bubble per second, and see how this goes, my current doesnt look strong as i have discus, all ive got is a spray bar pushing it around, gonna add another filter anyway so hopefully that will help me out alot.

dont think my 500g cannister will last long tho
