Aquarium Advice Addict
This is maybe a dumb question, but I have been going around and around, looking for the right explanations, and I'm still confuse. Pretty soon I will start to inject CO2 to my tank, it is a 100G planted. My ph is consistent at 7.6, my kh is around 7 drops, which gives me a hardness value of 125.
I always hear that changing the ph it's bad for the fish, fluctuations in the ph can kill the fish. But I read that adding CO2 will drop the ph. In fact, you need to control the ph to add or stop the injection of CO2.....???????
In few words, adding CO2 will make fluctuations in the aquarium? Good for the plants, but bad for the fish? If I add a ph meter to control the solenoid valve, how low do I need to see the ph drop to shutoff the solenoid? If my ph is 7.6, do i set it up to drop all the way to 6.8 which is the value where the ph/kh chart tell me that my Co2 levels are ideal? How do I know ?
Sorry if I confuse you with my questions...
