Hi all, i have an established tank and have started to use CO2 in the last4 weeks or so. I'm not convinced my drop checker is right/or my test kits are reading right. I say this because they contradict each other.
My DC never changes, it's always a blue/green colour, more blue i would say. i have check my ph and kh everyday at about 6-7, ph is 6, kh is 6. If i went off the ph/kh chart everything in my tank would dead so that cant be right!
A little about the setup
55l heavily planted
twinstar 450e running at 30%, lights start to ramp at 10.30, 30% power is from 1.30>.6.30, lights ramp down to off at 10.00
fluval 307 filter
Dosing 10ml of tnc lite every morning at 10 (use a doser)
CO2 starts at 11.30, goes off at 6.30, 1 bubble per second.
I also dose 10ml of Seachem Excel but i'm starting to reduce this 5ml (i was dosing this from the start so before i used CO2
my other issue is i have 0 nitrates, i need to address this.
so my question is, whats going on with my CO2?
thanks
