Hello,
I have a question about CO2 and acidity. Acording to the famous Tillmanns table of Ph and Hardness I can see how much CO2 is in the water. When you add CO2 the acidity rises (Ph does down), that is as far I can understand it....
But what if I lower Ph by adding some acid or peat extract? And then keep adding it to stabilize the new Ph? Does it mean that I´ll get more CO2 from air into the water (higher concentration according to the table)? More CO2 means better plant growth......
Am I right or did I understand this CO2 and Ph wrong?
Thank you.
P.S.: My tap water has hardness 10 and Ph 6.9....with peat extract it should be less.
