Highly pressurized, that is ;) Just because I live in California doesn't mean I smoke weed....

Now, I have a question for all you plant gurus. The KH of my tank was 3-3.5 and my ph was 7(before CO2). I ran CO2 from about 1400hrs today to lights out and took PH, KH, and attempted a CO2 reading(my Red Sea kit has a CO2 thing that doesn't appear to work). KH was 3-3.5 and ph was 6.4. Do you think that was enough time to get an accurate reading or should I shut down my CO2 tonight and start it on a lower setting tomorrow?
 
That KH/pH relationship table is pretty inaccurate due to the myriad of buffers in an aquarium, its time to get a cheap drop checker for much better results, and keep your CO2 at a low setting until you have a ballpark figure of where your at, CO2 wise.
