Re: CO2 causing a rise in KH



IMHO adding CO2 can prevent KH of going down...
I mean some plants can take carbon from carbonates when necessary and make the KH lower.
When you give them CO2 they will take it from the CO2 and the KH will remain constant...

| I am gone for an extended weekend so when I get back I will do more test and
