Because I'm running co2 through a canister,

[Paintballer99]

The set-up would look like this, 2l bottle, gas seperator check valve, and then through the intake....right?

 

[SMinNC]

yup

Cool, I know this is sort of off topic, but DO you think I'm going to need a kh test kit?

I think if you are running CO2, then a KH and PH test kits should be standard equipment. Even if you use a drop checker for CO2 monitoring instead, a KH test is good for verifying the water used in the drop checker.

For my DIY CO2, I'm running two 2-liter bottles, tee into one bubble counter (with built-in check valve), into hole drilled in Fluval FX5 intake. I use a Red Sea drop checker for monitoring.

OK cool I'm going to do the same thing, (just not a bubble counter)

the gas separator will act as a bubble counter as well.

 

[SuBXeRo]

Yes.

Why not a whole Master test kit? Tetra and API has cheap ones.

I got one from drs fostersmith for $20 but it didn't have a kh gh kit
