Welcome Western! The requirments for bubble hoses are:
1/2" inside diameter Bubble Tubing (coil size 100', weight: 60lbs)
Minimum: 0.02 cfm per foot
Optimal: 0.045 cfm per foot
Minimum PSI: 2.2
Maximum PSI: 50
3/4" inside diameter Bubble Tubing (coil size 200, weight 225lbs)
Minimum: 0.03 cfm per foot
Optimal: 0.065 cfm per foot
Minimum PSI: 5
Maximum PSI: 50
So in theory, your compressor is listed 3 cfm open flow and 2.4 cfm at 20 psi. Lets assume it produces 2,7 cfm in 5 feet of water. You could run an optimal of 60' and a maximum up to 130' lenght of 1/2" Bubble Tubing.
