 water. To achieve this, you have as many bps (bubbles per second) as needed. It depends on your equipment and how efficient it is at dissolving the CO2. More efficient = less bps, less efficient = more bps.I think I've read that a good starting off point is 3-5 bps (or 180-300 bubbles per minute), then adjust from there. I've heard people using up to 10 bps and as low as 1 bps. Other factors which affect the bubble rate are: number of plants, water surface aereation/CO2 loss, & filtration design.

 Make sure you get it in there REAL tight like.....  Apparently I'm gonna have to shove it all the way in and use a bit more silicone..... Then possibly use a bit of 2 part epoxy on the outside for good measures.

Yeah I did, first off I shouldn't have even had the bubble counter hooked up before I had all of the adjustments made. I didn't see where the regulator was at 40+ instead of 11....and then the needle valve was wide open. So all the mineral oil I had in the bubble counter made a b-line for the reactor, luckily it wasn't hooked up yet so I get to clean that out tonight.
The hose was a tight fit on the bubble counter and pulled it the check valve right out of the syringe. So I resiliconed it last night, pushed it all the way in flush with the end, and then put 2 part epoxy on the end where they meet. It shouldn't come apart now...

Man if I had known ya'll were gonna go to all that trouble I could have sent you an IV solution set from the hospital, all I did was clip the line fill with water add a check valve below it and plug it up.
