yes, i tried lower bubble counts. started off with 1bps, drop checker stayed blue. then went to 2-3, drop checker went to a dark green. then yesterday, i decided to see if i could get the drop checker a light green. 3-4bps seemed to do the trick.

i turned it back down. i probably don't need that much co2 in there anyway. the whole co2 thing is still new and i guess i wanted to see what maximum co2 levels looked like. lol

i just told myself that i'm still medium-low lighting and probably don't need to crank up the bubble count. hahaha, i still feel like a planted tank noob sometimes...
