One for all you chemists out there
Does water have a limit to the amount of CO2 it can hold?
When I set up my new tank, I pumped CO2 into as being a big tank I thought it would need loots. Well the lack of current plant growth and minimal surface water movement I think has meant that it is retaining CO2. Since starting the CO2 I've cut it right back to minimal input so I can get the CO2 level in the tank down to an even 'green' level. Trouble is I think I pumped so much into it in the first place, its taking a while to degas, so the level has been in the yellow range for two days now!
Thoughts? Just curious really.
