How long does it take for a bubble to travel through the
ladder diffuser?

Usually mine takes about 30 seconds, and then it is a very tiny bubble by that time. Don't worry if they stop along the way, it will not hurt anything, and the next bubble or two will knock it loose.

Thanks,

Right now I'm getting a bubble every 5 seconds.
Also I have the filter return pretty close to where the bubble goes to the service, should I move it.

Maybe, but too much surface agitatioin will cause some of the co2 too escape into the air.

I'm getting about a bubble every 7 seconds right now.

The diffuser should be where there is some current as it actually helps the co2 dissolve in the water, but if it's right by and in front of the filter return then it's better to move it a little further away.
