I have a planted community tank. The water if pretty basic. As I think the plants have used all the co2. I have a PH of 8.1 via the digital meter and between 7.4-7.6 via an api test kit. The tank is about a month old fully cycled with Ammonia/Nitrite at 0 Nitrates at 25ppm. I'm using that 88gram CO2 injection system with a little more then 1 bps to try to get more CO2 into the water plants have pretty much stalled in growth. My question is my water DKH is 4 (soft) but I really haven't been experiencing any kinda of PH swings people warn of is maybe the diffuser not that efficient ? So im just putting Co2 into the atmosphere ? It's a 33 gallon tank with about 40 lbs of eco-complete substrate.
Any input or tips advice would be great.
