Default pH too high (CO2 too low)

I use one or two 2L bottles. I have my own yeast method, which can easily
drop the pH from 7.0 to 6.2 if not regulated (that's with a KH of 4). I'm
still perfecting it though. That's with one 2L bottle. It lasts about a
week.

No, like I said, I can hear plentiful bubbles hitting the impeller. I'm out
of sugar though, have to try to get a ride to get some today. I have 2
bottles hooked up at the moment, one 3 days old, the other 5.

thanks,

bob

However, I'm normally KH 4 and pH around 6.6. Past couple of days pH is

up
to a steady 7.1.


How long since you recharged your co2 bottles? They may have stopped
producing, they only live for about 10-14 days. How many bottles are you
using? In a 55, no less than 3 two-litre bottles would be needed. I use 2

on
a 45.
