    5bps should last around a year or so, or even more, depends on how full your tank was top upped to.
    3bps and 4bps, just do the maths.

    Bps may not be a good indicator of your co2 concentration too. Depends a lot on how you inject to pressurised co2 into your tank also.

    Bps is not accurate to gauge co2 dissolved in water. You need a drop checker.

    my tank is 2feet ..estimate around 70litres
