pH swing CO2 related?
I just set up my DIY co2 reactor for my 29g tank.
Prior to addition of co2 the pH was ~7.6 and KH about 3 to 4 After half day of CO2 I tested pH at night B4 turning off the lights. pH 7.4 In the morning, just after turning on the light pH was 8.6! Testing an hour later yielded a pH of 7.6 and KH still about 3 Should i be concerned or surprised by these swings in pH. I would like to think that the high ph test was not due human error, (i am a chemist), but it is possible. your thoughts? |

The same thing happen to me, but after some time the pH came down !!! here
you can see what I have don't in almost a month http://www3.sympatico.ca/c1000mg/aqu...l-nov2002.html also depends on the cain of CO2 diffuser you are using, I use a Quick filter with a PowerHead 402(HAGEN) I put a hole in the botton of the quick filter and i works Just fine, some times I use Flourish Excel (Seachem) and it does just fine, I still building my aquarium, but it is going to be full of plants soon!!!, I aready can see the diference with thw wisteria... |
