co2 drip

[jmstanley]

Does anyone have any idea how much co2 should i drip for a 220 gal tank

well you start with a couple bubbles per sec and you work your way up. just depends on how much plants you have using the co2 plus how much surface agitation gassing it off and how well you diffuse the co2.

how do your co2 levels

I'd start with 2-4bps and work your way up like gamer said. Keep an eye on the fish in the mornings to see if they are gasping. Ideally you would want a drop checker with 4dkh solution to be able to get a quick visual indication of how much co2 is in your tank.

Nice avatar, btw.

Measuring CO2 in the Planted Aquarium @ petfish.net

drop checker is the best bet. for now you can use the ph and kh level.
