As far as an accurate bubble counter, I have a really crappy 8 year old rusty one and I can't dial it in even if I tried. So to fix the problem, I just set the bubbles to come out in sort of a steady stream (so that I can't count them), and I just let my controller turn the solenoid on the CO2 on and off. This has worked really well for me. The controller keeps the ph in the reactor stable. I used to try to dial in the "bubbles per second" years ago, but I just ended up letting the controller do the work and that's the best thing that I've done with the whole reactor set up. Hope this helps.
