Is BPS really a factor?

As the title says.. I'm having issues getting my Indicator to 30ppm with 2-3 bubbles per sec in my 10 gal.. Its either my glass diffuser's cheap, or the indicator is reading it wrong.

Originally I had the Co2 kick in a hour before lights and @ 2-3 bubbles per sec but it was taking 2-3 hours just for the indicator to turn greenish blue. So whats the deal? I'm now having to kick up the bubbles to like 6 per sec for the diffuser to kick out a lot of co2.

Whats the deal?

I dont think BPS is as important as getting the CO2 diffused in the water properly. I have a 26 gallon tank with 2BPS and I use a atomizer and a circulation pump, and my CO2 levels are spot on... I hope this helps..

What kind of circulation pump?

You might also have too much filtration- it removed CO2 from the water.

Aqueon Circulation Pump 500 GPH...It's small and compact and it simulates a river currect and cirulates the water to make sure there are no dead spots.
