Looking into CO2
I have a 55 tank full of low light plants right with HUGE thread algae problems. I was planning on springing for a presurized system this x-mass, but thought I might dabble in the DIY for now to get some experience with the concept and maybe help me out with all the algae cleanings I'm forced to do.
I've read some articles on here and had one initial concern. My tank's PH is at least 6.0 (as low as the API reads anyway). The CO2 will only lower the PH further...but I'll be unable to test it to find out what I'm working with. Has anyone else had to deal with this issue? Worst case scenario I can start taking out driftwood but are there any other options?
