    Im currently only using a bubble counter and a drop checker. The sera bottle is just a reg with a gauge. Maybe I should fit a needle v/v before the solenoid?. I was pretty shocked to see it overshoot so much :(

    KH

    Im currently running co2 and the ph is 6.6 to 6.8. Im doing small regular water changes say 20% every five days. The KH will drop to 6, but soon be upto 7. As for bogwood I dont think I could get much more in there :lol:

    Gravel from the beaches and gravel banks of Dorset is a natural, tide rounded stone that makes an ideal aquarium substrate or base medium That would be the description, so yes its beach gravel :? Is it a problem having a kh of 7? Will it eventually drop after say a year?
  27. W
