And I'm already using peat in my filter.

This has the side effect of lowering the pH, but a low
pH is not valuable in and of itself.

My mistake, I was confusing issues. My interest in lowering the pH
with peat was to improve conditions for my fish that prefer a lower pH
than my local water provides. I do understand that lowering pH through
non CO2 related means doesn't add to the CO2 level.

Where CO2 is concerned, I am encouraged by the numbers I see following
my rearrangement of the filter return flow to reduce turbulence, and
new recipes for my DIY mix.
