yet another CO2 question
I believe the is regulator functioning properly and not leaking. I am
beginning to see what effects Co2 has upon the pH. After getting my CO2 working again, the pH dropped from 7.5 to 6.5. This is having it run 24hr/day for 2 days. 65 gal tank. kH is 6. I am keeping 3 Discus and 1 fairly mean Angel, 24 cardinal tetra, a plec(8"), 2 clown loached, 2 Octinilus?sp, one of those albino looking corys and of course plants. This pH seem a bit low? For these fish I was going for a pH around 7. Should I try and titrate the Co2 bubbles per second down to acheive this with the CO2 tank running 24 hours/day? Or whould it be better just to attached the power cord of the regulator to the timer running my lights? It seem logical to me that keeping it running 24hrs at a lower rate would keep the pH more constant with less swings as compared to hooking it up to a timer? Arnt there devices that measure pH and automatically adjust your CO2? Are they worth the cost? I would imagine they are not cheap. thanks |
