I've got a 55 gallon planted tank, and my pH hovers around 7.6-7.8 without adjustment.I think I'm going to go ahead with the high pressure system, but was curious about a few things first.
At hand, I have a couple 5# CO2 tanks and non-aquarium regulators (high and low pressure, from 0-40lbs). They're not currently hooked up for 1/4" tubing, but I already know of a way to fix that. What pressure do I need to keep it at?
What else do I need? From what I've gathered, a needle valve and a reactor to diffuse the CO2 into the aquarium. I know I'd need to be cautious about the pH too, should I somehow rig a pH meter onto it to shut off when the pH drops too low?
I've been reading around a few sites, but the ones I've come across seem light on specific info or contradict each other. any good resources would be appreciated too.
Thanks!
