fshkpr4evr Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Anyone out there have any suggestions on effectively monitoring CO2 levels in a planted aquarium? I know there are various monitors available and also PH/KH calculations, but I would like some input from someone that has had experience in producing accurate results. Thanks.

werner Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) A drop checker is one of the better ways to monitor CO2, but you have to fiddle a bit to make sure it's going to give the most accurate results.

Willfishguy Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 The only way I know how to monitor it is to control it using the Dupla method, but the initial cost is high. I works awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more accurate and easier than making it yourself <a href="http://www.fishforums.net/content/Plants-a...wto-854hl-4dkh/" target="_blank">http://www.fishforums.net/content/Plants-a...wto-854hl-4dkh/</a> Edited December 10, 2007 by katana750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I start at 2 bbls/sec, then decide if I want more plant growth or less algae... I think I am allergic to test kits :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
