My new easy CO2 system
A decision whether or not to add more co2 should be based on the the level
in the water. Use Chuck Gadd's calculator to figure this out: http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_co2chart.htm -- Bob Alston bobalston9 AT aol DOT com "gizmo" wrote in message ...

My new easy CO2 system
Greetings!
After using the 2 Hagen Naturafin CO2 system on a 100 planted tank...I've upgraded today to a pressurized system made by Prodac (www.prodac.it) - Anyone knows ??? Anyway the Hagen systems were installed on a 40 gallon tank which they are better designed for.... Well after 4 hours of using the new system I can see dramatic changes in matter of O2 comes out of the leaves and plants are starting to show real signs of ejecting O2! - You can really see the o2 bubbles coming up to the surface - hardly seen this before. The atomsire consist of a special porous device cast in a glass bell - quoting from the manual. : 1. I've monitored the PH twice and it was stable at 7.2 2. During the night the light goes off and the tank is being aerated with an air stone 3. The CO2 is not turned off during the night.... 4. CO2 bubbles count is about 1 bubble per 3 seconds (but big bubbles) - You can really see the diffusion into the tank water. 5. I will measure the PH first thing in the morning. (But for the last few hours didn't see any stress signs on any fish) -------The sad part is that I don't know my KH.------- Questions: Shell I increase the bubble rate to 1 per second ??? (depending on the PH of course) If the PH drops during night - what is considered to be a 'Normal' drop if one can use the term normal.... How long does it takes for the PH to stabilize? (couples of days?) 10x gizmo

My new easy CO2 system
My PH is now about 6.8! I guess I think the system is starting to prove
itself! "Bob Alston" wrote in message news:7hVhb.67642$Ms2.45378@fed1read03... A decision whether or not to add more co2 should be based on the the level in the water.
