Default DIY CO2 Mixtu A definitive Answer?

Eric,
What levels of CO2 are you acheiving with your mixture?
How big is your tank?


It's a 20 gallon with an Eclipse hood. I mention the hood because it
causes a lot of surface turbulence, which really impacts CO2
retention.

Having made that disclaimer, my CO2 levels are only about 10-13 ppm
(pH 7.5 and kH 13.5). Much lower than I'd like. However, I do have a
high bubble rate - I'm getting about one bubble per second into my
Hagen diffuser thingy.

So, I think I've got a good formula going, but I'm restricted by the
surface agitation.
