I've just installed my co2art FE kit with intense bazooka and I'm slowly trying to dial in the correct amount of Co2 with the included DC. I started with 1bps and after 2 hours the DC remained blue. Over 2 days I began to increase bps and it's now at around 5 bps and the DC is still a shade of blue. Its difficult to tell the colour and I'm now wondering how I can accurately keep increasing the bps to get a lime green indicator. I've resorted to tapping a bpm counter on my phone for each bubble I see and then deviding that figure by 60.
The fish look good with no gasping and after only two days testing, the plants have began to pearl slightly after 4 hours of lights on. Some of the leaves have also started to really point upwards and colour up brilliantly.
Tank is 155 litres and if it can take more Co2, it's going to really colour up!
Shall I just keep slowly increasing bps daily? No one on the net seems to run such a high bubble rate even on some tanks much larger than mine! I know it's subjective but still, it concerns me that I might need to be nearer 10bps before I'm getting a lime green DC.
Maybe doing a ph test before the gas is on and just before it goes off would be a better yard stick as to how near to a whole point my ph is dropping?
Thanks.
