Hey guys i got a hagen natural co2 kit 2 days ago
the bubbles are meant to take a while to flow right but there still getting stuck in the reactor after 2 days, i have tried . ..
-moving the reactor deeper
-playing with how vertical it is
-the tube is in correctly slanty edge the right way
bubbles are comming at a decent pace but there all grouping up and just sitting there :S
also another really important question noone seems to be able to answer (LFS x 3 anyway)
-I am adding co2 which reduces ph, this makes an equilibrium of 6.8 when a carbonate buffer is present
so i add the co2, watch the ph go down, then bring it up to 6.8 with coral/baking soda ect.
the bit i dont get, is how do i equal the ph when doing water changes? i cant use carbonate buffer stuff or else i will mess with the kh in the tank no?
do i just use that dodgy acid chemicals? or do i add a phosphate buffer?
thanks sorry im going crazzy with this im so close heres a pic of my tank anyway ...
