That is beautiful
I always thought that the pH level reduced when temperature rises. I get the opposite in the Pond. Wondering what other factors are involved. I’m thinking Sunlight and the increase in plant growth may contribute to my rise in pH with temperature increase. Any ideas ?
Yes its plant metabolisme, warmer and more light will encreasy CO² uptake during the light cycle. I don't have a heated pond but during the summer months in the sun, temps can rise drasticaly and i see plants pearl like mad.
Yes it isn't really the temperature, it is changes in the CO2/O2 ratio during photosynthesis when the sun is shining, and sun-shine also increases the temperature. Oxygen is a base (it is really O-H) so when the sun shines CO2 is depleted (so you have less carbonic acid (H2CO3)) and oxygen levels rise, giving you a rise in pH.I always thought that the pH level reduced when temperature rises.
