How long on average dirsva 2kg bottle last.
My first was nearly 3 months I know i. Was playing around getting it set up and slowly built the hours up on it. My second only a month.
It's on a 180ltr tank. Inline diffuser. About 2.8 bps, its 28 over a 10 second period. It's on for 9 hours a day.
Plants are growing like mad.
I did leak test it when it went back together all was ok. But wonder if it started to leak after.
I'm using a 2kg welding bottle that I exchange over for £12.
 
This is number of days my 2Kg FE lasts for my 180litre tank, around 100 days. Spot where I had the leak in 2013...

3 - 4 months is about right, I was using 2 kg in 3 months @ 4 / 5 bps. If you have used 2 kg in 1 month you have a leak somewhere.
