I have recently just added a D&D CO2 systrem to my 180 LTR tank. I am finding I need around 60 bubbles per min to achieve 10 PPM . With the regulator set to 1bar.
Using the calculation prvided by D&D for the size of the tank. I expected 14 bubbles per min to be satisfactory.
However, I suspect the size of the diffuser will also effect the injection rate!
My PH before CO2 on is 7 and after 3 hours is 6 / The water KH is 2
I am awaiting another drop checker and solutions to optimise the CO2 injection but would like anyone to provide me with their experience on nominal injection rates?
Kindest Regards: Peter
