Seachem Bubble Counter – 6 mm
Seachem Bubble Counter – 6 mm is a sleek glass accessory designed for monitoring CO₂ injection in freshwater planted aquariums. Its transparent chamber allows aquarists to observe and count individual CO₂ bubbles, providing a convenient visual reference when adjusting carbon dioxide delivery.
Maintaining a consistent CO₂ injection rate is an important part of managing a planted aquarium. The Seachem Bubble Counter helps simplify this process by making gas flow visible, allowing for more controlled adjustments to your CO₂ system.
Monitor Your CO₂ Injection with Ease A clear glass chamber provides an easy-to-read visual indication of CO₂ flow, helping you fine-tune your injection rate while maintaining a clean, minimalist aquarium setup.

How to Use a CO₂ Bubble Counter
- Carefully fill the bubble counter chamber with water to an appropriate level.
- Connect the bubble counter to compatible CO₂ tubing, following the intended gas-flow direction.
- Ensure all connections are secure and check for leaks.
- Gradually open the CO₂ regulator's needle valve.
- Observe the bubbles moving through the chamber and count the bubbles per second.
- Adjust the CO₂ flow gradually according to your aquarium's requirements.
Important: Bubble Count Is Not a Direct CO₂ Measurement Bubble counters provide a visual reference for CO₂ injection, but bubbles per second do not directly indicate dissolved CO₂ concentration in aquarium water. Use a CO₂ drop checker or other appropriate monitoring method alongside careful observation of fish and shrimp.
Aquascaper's Tip
For consistent CO₂ delivery, use a quality regulator with a precision needle valve and a suitable check valve to help prevent water from flowing backward into your CO₂ equipment. Make small adjustments and allow time for the aquarium's CO₂ concentration to stabilize before making further changes.
Keep your planted aquarium CO₂ system organized and easy to monitor with the Seachem Bubble Counter – 6 mm, available in Canada at Aquascaperoom.
