Crazyreefers calculator had a few bugs in it, and the original version was geared to a specialized design he was working on. He is working on a new version, but he has not posted it yet.
In order to calculate the bubble saturation level, it is a bit of low level math. Start with bubble dwell time. If we know how long a bubble stays in the water column, we can calculate how much is in at any one time based on the feed rate.
Figure out the vessel size.
Figure out what 13% of that is.
Figure out bubble dwell time.
Divide 13% bubble volume/bubble dwell time (use the same units you want in the end - in my case I used cubic feet and bubble dwell time in minutes = CFM to maintain the saturation.)
The calculator I posted did this calculation, but it was dismissed because crazzyreefers calculator was first.
