For now I turned off skimmer but I doubt that will make a super big difference

Yes, I will get a reactor going when I solve this bubble count.You could try moving the in-line diffuser onto the inlet tubing side of the filter!
This might reduce the misting look!
Yes please I am desperate for a reference from someone.Not small then!
Maybe someone who has a similar size aquarium can give you some reasonable guidlines on the bubble rate!
I don't have fish/shrimp.....just lots of plants!I see. Yeah I can't really count bubbles its so fast.
Also why 24/7? shrimps?
The check valve is a ADA one, the collets were down for foto. Should I remove it? I have a brand new ADA co2 tubing ready also.None of the CO2 line from here appears to have any of the clamping collets fitted and the check valve looks like an airline check valve to me (I may be wrong).
Using an inline diffuser requires high pressure (30 PSI approx) and the gas will find any weak points in the loop.
The bubble count seems excessive and the only suggestion I can make is to meticulously check all joints with an artists paint brush and soapy water looking for bubbles (escaping gas).
Cheers!

I can't argue with ADA, my bad.The check valve is a ADA one, the collets were down for foto.
This is partly your issue. It's resisting the PH drop due to the carbonates being released by the rocks. Have a read at this.Kh is 5.
I know this is not your question and it's totally irrelevant to your CO2 issue but I recommend stopping that and using CaSO4 and MgSO4. Seachem Equlibrium is throwing a truck load of unnecessary K in your tank.and reminalize with Seachem Equlibrium
