My PH is steadily rising... at the beginning of the week it was 7.3 and now its 7.6.
I have diy co2 but changed the bottle a day ago when my PH was 7.5 but it has not lowered it.
My outgassed aquarium water is 8.3 so I am aiming for a PH of 7.3
The strange thing is my drop checker is lime green/yellow still even though going by my PH/KH I have barely 15ppm of co2 at the moment.
I am using 4dkh solution accurate to 0.01 ppm and my co2 diffusion is into external reactor which in turn goes into inlet of canister filter which in turn has the out put going into a powerhead so any burped out co2 is misted into the tank.
Any ideas why my PH is going up yet drop checker is still looking good? Should I just disregard the PH?
