Description says it all really how many bubbles do people tend to go for on the JBL? I did originally have it running at 1 bubble every other run but after a slight increase this morning it's now more like 1 per run.

If i time the bubbles leaving the reactor it roughly equates to 1 per minute - talking about the gulps!

do you mean 1 per second?

You're looking at this the wrong way in my opinion. The bubbles are a means to an end, as they are only there to add CO². You need to work out your target pH based on your CO² level you want to achieve and the KH of your tank water and regulate the bubbles until the pH is correct.

There's no right / wrong answer for "How many bubbles per second should I have" as it's different for every setup.

Thanks that was as I thought orginally but then went on a mad field trip within my own mind!

With some helpfull advice and luck I have managed to get my readings to

dKH 3
PH 6.4

Giving a Co2 reading or 36ppm - So I guess that i'm going right somewhere

Yes, I would say 36ppm is about right
