Hi,
In anticipation of trying a rescape in the new year using a new higher power light i'm experimenting with trying to get the CO2 more 'on point' with the current scape. This is my larger tank, 90x45x45 with sump. Co2 pipe feeds direct into the return pump inlet.
Using a Ph pen i've been taking a profile over the past few days and adjusting in response. The profile from yesterday is below. I also have a drop checker, at lights on it is light lime green in another hour-ish it is yellow and stays that way. Fish behaviour is completely normal, moving around the tank happily feeding etc etc. I dont know the KH of my water, but it is very soft out the tap (40 on the TDS meter) and settles at about 150 in the tank.
Am i overdoing it with the injection rate, either in the sense that it's risky or that i'm just wasting gas for no additional benefit? Or is this high rate OK and it's not casuingthe fish stress because of the sump maybe?
Getting slighting confused.
