Two pounds should last a year or more.   Either you are not getting two
pounds or it is running out a lot faster than one bubble per second.   Did
you carefully weigh your tank before and after it was filled?   That would
be a cheap way to verify that you got two pounds.   How are you counting
bubbles?  I have seen some bubbles that are huge.   You want your bubbles
to be about 3/32" (2.2mm) in diameter.   Please advise.
