So if my PH is 7.4 - 7.6, my KH is 125.3 ppm, my GH is 237.7 ppm and I'm running CO2; do the high values hinder the amount of CO2 taken into the aquarium?
I've taken a look at the CO2 chart and it shows that my CO2 levels are between 16-13 ppm or less. (I have a drop checker on the way)
The reason I ask is, because I have the bubbles set to 1 bubble per second, which is quite a good bps, from what I've seen on other set ups.
So I guess my question is, is it safe to up the CO2 or will this off set something else?
I don't want to mess around so much with the PH, as I've read that it's better to keep a stable PH, if the fish are doing well. Plus, I'm not sure about adding peat filtration, as I'd like my water to still be crystal clear. Unless small amounts won't effect water colour and if the PH with still have stability with peat.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
