I always keep a CO2 bottle full just in case ;) once one runs out, I place the order for the next! £35 for 5Kg is not that much to keep one in stock ;) lasted me 8-9 months on the rio 125, wonder how long it will last on the Mini-M now!!

Nice recovery ;)
 
Ahhhh gutted , my 2kg co2 lasted less then a month. , damn ...... The bubble counter has failed :(

Anyone out there got a spare to part with. ?
Cheers

Ok my co2 has been off all week due to having no bubble counter ,
I don't mind as everything still looks great and lighting reduced etc. But i came home today and I have noticed that my drop Checker is yellow :/

I can't even get it to go yellow when I inject co2 :/ , the mix must have gone off right .
Because the current tank plants/ organics etc can produce this much co2 surely ?
It was dark green this morning . I think I will change it and see what happens tomorrow .
What's people thoughts ?

How your livestock doing.
Its strange indeed. Check your ph every hour. I'd be interested to see your ph profile without co2 added. It could just be you've found a lowtech sweet spot for your lighting, or somewhere close.

The ph profile seems fairly stable and consistent from 7.4-7.6, but the drop checker turns from blue to yellow and stays yellow .
It was yellow this morning @ ph 7.5 and yellow just now @ ph 7.4 . But as I am not injecting co2 I don't see how the carbonic acid can drop the ph profile if the drop checker was yellow 10 hours ago and the ph is similar now to then .
Strange one indeed , but water change tomorrow so it may all change .
Livestock are happier then ever and all my plants have had more progress in growth .
