I'm glad I don't swim in that tank. Seems a little cruel to the fins. I'd get a hagen and give it a little time.
Dry Ice should be availible at Ice Cream shops as well as some grocery stores.. Well at least around here it isWhere can i get dry ice?
I am pretty sure that It is pure Co2 but not 100%Is dry ice just pure Co2, or does this stuff have other chemicals in it?
If it were me I would say no more than a 1/4lb..How much should i put in a 50 gal tank?
Cheap easy experimenting way about introducing co2 into a FW planted tank..I dont understand. Is this dry ice idea supposed to be cheaper than DIY or is it just something to try?
Rex Grigg said:I'm having a hard time following your logic. It's true that the CO2 in the tank does form HCO3. And the HCO3 doesn't buffer the water the bicarbonates do. But the way I see it you figure that injecting CO2 is going to cause a large drop in kH. And it doesn't.

first things first..
DO NOT PUT DRY ICE IN A SEALED CONTAINER that is unless you want an explosion. seriously, the ppl that talk about DI bombs are right.
more about the chemistry and a few more experiments after class.
