Re: [APD] Adding Carbonates

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

For practdical purpoosse, the amount of carbonate won't
change the amount of CO2. Use CO2 to get the CO2 level you
want. Use a carbonate to bring the pH up to where yo want
it and to add calc or mag if you need it, but a KH of 4 or
5 should be plenty.
