	CO2 Question...
sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	Co2 will still dissolve at a high kh but there is a point at which it's too difficult to lower the ph without adding so much co2 you kill the fish. That's when you have my water. Even when the tank is loaded with co2 and the plants are doing great my ph sits at a nice high 8.6. That's 18-20dkh. Co2 charts and calculators do not seem to be accurate when you have that high of a carbonate hardness. Even when I have seriously increased plant growth and pearling the calculators say I only have around 2ppm co2. I estimate my co2 only by watching the fish and plants.

I have had a hard time being able to post more than one pic at a time..for some reason when I choose to reply and post the 2nd pic, 3rd pic, etc it keeps showing up as the 1st one I tried to post! In this instance it keeps re-posting my outlay..at least in the "preview" anyway. Any one have any ideas how to correct this?

I would try and leave a bit of open space and thicken up some of your stem plants. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric
