new nutrafin co2 injector question....

[oscarbreeder]

I just got a Nutrafin co2 injector and need to know how many bubbles per min or hr. I should be getting.
Thanks.

Hrmm. Dunno. You can check the CO2 levels by checking pH and kH. If you go that route, theres a calculator for it here: http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_co2chart.htm

One of those reactors should be good for up to 20g if it's working properly the bubbles go all the way up the diffuser ladder without being hindered. I think the rate is 8 bubbles per minute.

Thanks for the help Alli.
Now I know what I have to do to get the levels right.

cdawson,
Some times the bubbles go all the way to the top but some times they stop.
How can I fix this?

Wait it out for a few days... the bubbles will consistently go to the top of the ladder once it has built up a little slime coat. Mine did the same thing but it works fine now. It took a couple of days.
