Of CO2 injection and pH
Ive just started CO2 injection..using yeast/sugar mixture.
Im getting a steady stream of CO2 from the airstone..which
I placed in the water-exit tube of a gravel vacuum. (The
bubbles get trapped by the flow of water and bounce
around for a minute or two b4 combining into a big bubble which
fights its way to the surface.) Neat huh?
In three days the pH fell to about 6.4 from 7.0..so far
no adverse affects on the fish...plants are showing
impressive improvments.
I was wondering if the pH is goin to fall more..I dont
want to be killing the fish. I havet got a CO2 test kit...
they didnt have any at the store...gonna be mailordering one
soon.
Im was using Bullseye 7.0 (which obviously gave up on me).
Im also concerned about the purity of the CO2 being produced..
I mean...it stinks...I was thinking of having it run thorough
some sort of filter to clean it b4 bubling it in the tank.
Any ideas/comments/experiances?
Any information at all will be greatly appreciated.
