So I have had the CO2 injection system up and running for about 4 days now. In the morning i get a reading of about 7 ppm of CO2, mid evening around 15. I get this reading based on a KH degrees of 5 and a PH of 7.0. I heard that the optimum CO2 is around 20-25. Im afraid that in raising my CO2 concentration, I will be dropping my PH to harmful levels. What do I need to do to get the levels up with out being harmful to my fish? How do i get carbonate hardness (KH) to go up?
