Re: [APD] CO2 revelations



The CO2 test kits aren't really doing much mroe than one
does using the pH KH CO2 table. The test assumes carbonates
and you titrate to determine the pH.

I probably have terribly oversimplified but Roger Miller
had an excellent post on this back there inthe archives
somewhere.
