Aquarium Advice Freak
Hey,
I just got my milwak reg and ph controller in the mail today, also went and picked up a 10lb co2 tank.. now I got it all setup and running (i think it is)
first I want to say, the instructions for calibrating the ph controller told me to dip the tip in ph 4.0 solution which I did not get, however they gave me two bottles of ph 7.1 buffer.. as listed on the package it does not say you get any ph 4.0 solution.. is this irrealavent?
Ok so I went ahead with calibrating with the 7.0, and left out the 4.0 all together. I got everything hooked up. Now what im wondering is..
a) my ph controller says the alarm is triggered because my setpoint is between 6.5 - 7 and according to the screen my ph is 7.4. Now would that mean there should be no co2 being pumped into the aquarium? because i can still see bubbles in the bubble counter.
b) second, what is a good bubble rate? right now its at a bubble a second :S
ok I think thats all my questions for now.
thanks,
davE
