Hi, in my high tech 60p I maintain soft water with 0kh and also inject co2.
Though 1.0ph drop is generally regarded as optimal and safe for live stock, does this still apply for tanks with no kh? I recently checked my tank pH and degas pH.
24h Degas sample is 6.65-6.7
Tank values stay from
5.2-5.3 throughout the day so far.
This means I have a ph drop of 1.4!!!
I was wondering, since I don’t have any buffer, is it possible I have less co2 in terms of ppm in the water, compared to say a tank with a kh of 4 with the same pH drop?
While my stock seem completely happy, I am a bit on edge.
Thanks!
