That's probably Australia's main claim to fame: all
you need to have a really good time is a BBQ and
carton of beer ;-)

Only an Aussie could say that . Are you from Oz? Canberra or something????

No, Brisbane. But the barbie and the beer work up here
just as well as they do in Canberra ;-)

Cheers,

Michi.

Okay, built my Co2 reactor, bought a cool German diffuser / bubble
counter and I'm getting one bubble every five seconds. Is that enough?
The bubble goes thru a housing and then passes thru a porcelain piece
which is supposed to make for fine bubbles - but I seem to be getting
one fat bubble every five seconds... is that right?
What is a bubble counter, exactly?

A bubble counter is any device that lets you count how many bubbles of
CO2 is going through your diffuser/whatever. But it's only meaningful
if you have some baseline so that you know that "X" number of bubbles a
second gives you enough CO2.

A better thing to do would be to get a good KH and pH kit, measure your
KH and pH, then go to this page:
