Anyone have any idea whats going on with my DIY co2?
I run two 2ltr bottles on my 14 gallon tank. They are connected to an internal reactor and for several months have given me a drop checker of yellow/green and PH of 7.2 KH 16.
I change each bottle every week, 1 on a wednesday and 1 on a saturday.
All of a sudden my drop checker started going darker green and my Ph has gone up to 7.9!!
I immediately changed BOTH bottles but after 2 days my drop checker is still darkish green and the PH still 7.9
Weirder still is that my plants are still pearling well so far ( not sure if this is due to the fact my reactor does spurt out alot of bubbles when it gets too full of co2 so the misting effect on plants could be causing pearling and not dissolved co2 concentration?
Any ideas why all of a sudden my ph has gone up yet diy co2 bottles have both been changed etc.
