Aquarium Advice Regular
Hey guys,
ive been out of the seen for a while due to work/study commitments, and need a little help. im setting up a planted tank with co2.
Water parameters:
ph 7.6
kh 2.24
gh 4.84
ques 1. i will be putting drift wood in my tank which i know will drop my ph to about 6.5 and kh to 1.6 or so. If i inject co2 will i be looking down the barrel of a sub 1 kh level? and how will i moniter my co2 level as the driftwood acts as a buffer and tells me i have 15ppm co2 when there is really only 2ppm or so.
ques 2. is a ph of 7.6 possible with such a low kh i have?i was under the understanding that it was all relational. i know its not my tests playing up because ive tried many and they come back to me with the same result.
ps is there any forumal to use a kh and gh reading to find out a ph level?
Thanks in advance, any help/suggestions will be much appreciated.
