Dear UKAPS,
My drop checker remains blue. Solid blue. I made the test by breathing in for a while and it became a shade of green. So the liquid reacts.
My tank is small (47 liters) and I am running my CO2 at a rate of 1 bubble per second. The CO2 starts 2 hours before the lights are turned on. As I am writing the CO2 has been on for almost 7 hours. Drop checker still blue.
I am using an inline reactor Sera 1000 connected to a JBL CP Greenline 702 (rated at 700 l/hour). There is some surface agitation, but not too much as well as a glass surface skimmer. The skimmer is set to skim the surface very, very little. Surface is absolutely spotless and gas exchange is probably very good. The drop checker was repositioned a few times around the aquarium - trying to see is CO2 is distributed well by the flow. DC remained blue regardless of the chosen spot. The DC itself is a cheap spherical one. Ordered online - came with the solution. Temperature is relatively low - around 22.7 degrees.
Exact tank specifications:
Size in cm: 57x32x26h (47 liters)
Filtration: JBL CP Greenline 702 (700 l/h)
Heater: Ista inline 150W
CO2: Pressurized controlled by a solenoid. On 2 hours before lights. Rate: 1 bps. Inline reactor Sera 1000
Light: 1 tube t5 HO 24W, controlled by a timer
No fish or shrimp in the tank yet.
Plants are mosses and Hemiantus Glommeratus
Tank started two days ago and still playing with the CO2
Thanks in advance
