Is it safe to assume a drop checker should be clear/strong Yellow when there are dangerous levels of CO2 for fish? Or can it occur at lime green too? I'm struggling to figure out if I have enough or not of CO2.
I did a 48 blackout the last 2 days where I had no Co2 at all (trying to get rid of some algae). My PH stabalized at pH6.86.. and now I'm trying to get it to around pH5.90 or so.. Thinking that a drop of 1.0 in PH means 30ppm?
But I can't see much difference on drop checker now and when the pH was 6.10.. My Dwarf Neon Rainbows are at surface, but they sometimes to hang about up there any way.. so hard to know if it's normal or not. No signs of my Cory's or Shrimps which is normal.
