As the controller doses the CO2 based on pH...the bubble rate in my system doesn't matter. When the controller calls for CO2, I think it bubbles at about 2-3 per second.

I used to get about 10 months out of my cylinder when I had an Ocean Aquatics skimmer. Then I switched to a Schuran Pico and the consumption has gone up (which I find interesting as its supposed to be a recirculating model and scavenges co2). Anyway I can go anywhere from 4 months to 8 months on this one.
