Bubbles per second.

[oldbloke]

I appreciate that there are a lot of variables here, but what sort of rate do most of you use?
And tank volume of course

Cheers.

I'm getting a ph drop of about .7 / .8 (yellow DC) @ 3 bps on a jbl bubble counter if that helps

Huge on 200lt but as you point out it is a little irrelevant from tank to tank.
I have found on small tanks say 60lt it is pretty easy to get great plant growth with low bubble counts but, on large high lighting tanks , say 200l + you cant really count the bubble rate anyway!

Agree with foxfish, I have a 260 and can't count the bubbles, as of today I have just a single up inline pumping Gas, tomorrow I'll hopefully nail the postie for my long awaited second inline, so when I add this after splitting my cO2 between my 2 filters and use 2 bubble counters I presume I will be able to lower the bubble count I'm currently using by adding more Gas at lower rate through the 2 diffusers? Does this make sense or am I confusing myself again:-/?
