CO2 x2!

[WyldFya]

I HATED having to make CO2 bottles once a week. For both, and they would not put out anywhere near enough.

Evercl, how many bubbles per second do you do for you 125, and what KH and pH values do you try to maintain?

Evercl, how many bubbles per second do you do for you 125, and what KH and pH values do you try to maintain?

I have the valve open to about 3 bubbles/2 secs, so 1.5b/s.
My tap KH is 0-1, so I throw some baking soda in, and generally maintain it around 4-5.
pH generally stays at 7.0 - 7.2. I used to try to keep it at 6.6 - 6.8, but I knew I was getting nerite snails, and figured I should just let it stay at 7.0.

How does yours compare?

Well I bubble around 7-9 b/sec. I try to keep my pH at 7, but I have it out of the tap at 7.9-8.0, and KH out of the tap is 8dKH.
