(even though the
heat probably helps dissolve the CO2 better).

Seems right at first:
But no, the colder the water, the more gas it is able to hold in
solution at equilibrium.
Colder water has more O and CO2 or any atomspheric gas everything else
being equal.

I was referring to the CO2 gas being heated as it passed through the
solenoid, I don't think it had any effect on water temperature. It's
really just a guess however.


If you plan on using a
PH controller then it's a must, otherwise you can always put your
reactor on a timer and save some money.
Hope that helps

You can use a powerhead to run the system and use a controller with
that instead of a solenoid. The gas will burp out and be wasted is
all.

Good point!
