CO2 Bubbles per second

[ms]

Hi,
I just setup my CO2 system yesterday, I got it wrong from the LFS guy and set my CO2 bubbles to 3per minute.
However, when I read thru' the forum messages, I saw that it is normal to set to 3 per seconds.

The interesting thing is that after about 3hrs, last night, I saw my Riccia oxygenatiing!!
Also, my Cabomba is releasing 1 bubble every 20-30secs!!

Be careful about your CO2 setting. bps is not that accurate.
I once set mine at 3bps and ended up poisoning my fishes because overdose CO2.

Try to measure CO2 using of PH and KH measurements.

Hi Bro,

If you are using a manual regulator, watch it closely for a few days before the bubble counts stablelise. Unless you are using needle valve with solenoid.

It is not just seeing bubbling that counts, you must also observe the growth of the plants as well.

Get you Ph/Kh right, everything will be fine. Do not add anything (liquid fertilisation) until your plants are rooted & co2 is in balance.

Good luck.
