Hi
Please share your thoughts about my Ph drop. I'm trying to eliminate any factors that gives me some algae. This time is Co2 and if enough is pumped in?
I know there is this idea of ideally having 1 degree Ph drop which tells you that you pump just right amount of Co2 but it is not always the case with high Kh right?
So my readings are as follow:
8 am - Ph 7.1 (Co2 on)
9 am - Ph 6.8
10 am - Ph 6.8
11 am - Ph 6.8
12 am - Ph 6.8
1 pm - Ph 6.6 (lights on)
2 pm - Ph 6.6
3 pm - Ph 6.6
4 pm - Ph 6.6
5 pm - Ph 6.6
6 pm - Ph 6.4 (Co2 off)
7 pm - Ph 6.5
8 pm - Ph 6.5 (lights off)
What do you think? I wonder if I could do anything to let me switch Co2 later and if I should switch Co2 at 5pm so Ph stay at 6.6.
My Kh is 12 and Gh is 18.
Regards
Mike
