our diffuser finally came in (unbroken this time. 3 shipments from Dr. Foster's!! nice people and they made it right, but geez!!) and we started pressurized CO2 tonight. is there anything i should watch for? lights go off in an hour as will CO2. do i need to test pH? other levels? before lights out? after? both?
tanks!!

I just set my co2 to come on an hour before lights come on and vice versa.When i first got pressurized i tested for ph fluctuations but it wasn't a big leap so i decided not to monitor it anymore

ok, also when i first turned it on, you could see the co2 everywhere! after a couple hours of it running, the bubbles were not as noticeable...know why? was it just being absorbed by water?

congrats, you're living the high life now! ;)
