If I understand right, you have a 36 gallon tank, and are now running about a bubble every 3 seconds. I use about 3 bubbles per second for my 29 gallon tank and no sign the fish are unhappy with it. Something doesn't seem right????

Vaughn if I turned it up to 3 bubbles per second there would be no use in having the aquarium, you would not be able to effectively see the fish, the tank would be one big swirling mist of co2, lol, maybe not that bad, but, it was buggin me at 1 bps.

I've attached a picture of my whole tank, maybe that will help.
