I use mls/5 minute, not bubbles/sec, which are worthless units.
How would you measure that?
Is propagation of bucephalandra similar to anubias?

Take a cooking measuring cup, invert under water, remove all the air, then take the CO2 line and bubble the gas into the inverted container. Measure the total volume of gas collected after say 300 sec/5min.
This is golden, it will be the same standardized measure no matter WHAT, for anyone, anywhere and you can convert to mls/sec or min or 5 min or 1 hour or estimate how long the gas tank will last for you aquarium.
You cannot do this for bubbles per second. It's also very simple and FREE. If you make any changes to the CO2 system, replace or upgrade, resetting the flow rate is VERY easy using this method and is far better than per sec.
Hey Tom, could you stick a post up here Just how much C02 do you use! | UK Aquatic Plant Society
I agree. The difficulty is to keep off GSA while giving them medium light.My only advice is to try and see. From my point of view it's a big myth that Bucephalandra is a difficult plant.
