I set up 2 liter bottle of DIY CO2 about 10 days ago, mixed up 2 cups
of
sugar, 1/4 tsp of yeast and a pinch of baking soda and filled the bottle
about 3/4 full. I initially had this hooked into a powerhead. It was
dispensing as I could see the puffs of gas coming out of the output. I
recently bought some Rena Micro bubblers to use rather than the power
head
and now have the bottle with a fresh mix (last night) hooked into a 4"
bubbler in a 20g planted tank. My Ph in the tank remains at about 7.6. I
can
see bubbles coming out of the bubbler but should the PH not change ?. Is
the
tank not getting enough CO2, one would think in a 20g that one two liter
bottle would be enough, yes, no??

Thx.
Rick


The amount the pH will change depends on the kH of the water in the tank.
The more dissolved carbonates, the less the pH will change. What is your
kH?
