Hi all.
Inspired by CO2 being used in thread, thought a database of our use and equipment would be a handy reference tool for us all using CO2 or about to use it
So need your data I will do the rest and keep the first post update with a spreadsheet/table.
Ian measures his CO2 used in a great way that would give us the best results OFC. But the Size in Kg of the CO2 cylinder used and how long it lasts isn't as accurate but I think it will still yield some valuable data.
Your pH drop useful too. To standadises the pH drop take a clean glass fill eith tank water day after WC Pre CO2 time and place to on side, next day once your pH drop is maxed in tank the difference between the waters pH in tank and glass is the pH drop I'm after. (pH drop optional OFC but will be helpful) pH pen/meter used please- if it's a cheapo one just put cheapo.
DC colour change, very useful to compare the relative [CO2] and CO2 used. Pic of DC final colour useful too.
1. CO2 cylinder size Kg
2.How long does you CO2 last? Days
3.How long is your CO2 period? Hrs mins
4.Size of tank? HxWxD capacity litres
5. CO2 regulator Make-model would be ideal, but single or duel stage better than nothing.
6. Injection method- make and model eg intank/inline supper Wiz bang
How many?
7.Reactors used- none or make or DIY APS EF2 etc
8. Done a pH profile? Yes/no
9.CO2 pre lights on time.
10.Filter/power heads output- make and model useful too.
11.Output- lilypipes, spraybar etc make model or custom DIY.
12.Lights- make and model, T5 wattage intensity.
13.Photoperiod ?
14. Please link your Journel if you have one
15. Drop Checker colour? Pic if possible with white background.
16. Open top tank or glass covers ?
To help make the data collection easy please just post your data in this thread we can always debate any findings/data in another thread. Unless I've missed a data collection parameter OFC
Will tidy this first post up when back at my PC.
Thanks for your data in advance
Database to follow soon on holiday ATM so bit of a pain to do spreadsheet on mobile.
If nothing else it will just give a database of CO2 pre on times duration, pH drops and photoperiods for various tank sizes and users alongside an approximate CO2 used per litre per hour. Which may be useful as a guideline !
