heya guys
this post is sort of for people who know a fair bit about co2 injection kits on the market and what components go with what. sorry, though i am rather illeterate in this area. on the following web page there are co2 injection kit parts, and i think one injection kit kit. http://www.customaquatics.com/customaquatic/listcat1.asp?CatID=co
ok, ive heard that there are some sort of controllers that control the amount of co2 that is put into the water by the kit, ie adjsuting it around a selected ph to keep it at that ph. is this true or is this jsut a myth. if this is true could somebody please tell me which part on this page is this controller and what other parts it needs to go wtih to work please.
thanx very much.
btw, if you can only get digital ph measures can somebody please jsut point htis out and ill jsut be quiet and stop rambling on about nothing :P.
thanx again

p.s. this link also contains ph cntrollers/moniters, does this have any relation to the kits. (and btw, whats a "probe"?)thanxhttp://www.customaquatics.com/customaquatic/detailcat.asp?CatID=el&SubCatID=el-ct#
thanx again again

What are you asking exactly? If you are going injected co2
you will need, 1 a co2 tank. a regulator, a buble counter a needle vaulve. a selonoid is good if you plan to turn your co2 of at night.
The selenoid is hooked to the timer. The needle vaulve controls the amount of co2 your injecting and the buble counter allows you to mesure that. The regulater is just that, it regulates everthing. You don't need a ph "probe" you can monitor your co2
with a chart and use ph test kit and kh test kit. you really dont need the ph controler moniters. These inject co2 acording to what your ph is. Co2 lowers your ph. If you have a set up and set it up right you can do this yourself with no trouble.
I'm guessing the "kit" contain 1 or more items from the above list.
This is just the basics. and I'm sure there is someone out there who can add to this or has a little more info to help.
 
Yes, you can get a digital measurement of pH, there are several types of pH probes available.
good luck
:)
 
ok, well if you scroll down this page http://www.dupla.com/start_e.htm until you get to Dupla pH-Control Delta
then you'll see what i mean, and i was wondering that if on the page i mentioned before there was somehting like this that i could order from the net to australia.
 
That's a pH controller. It attaches to a solenoid (solenoid=electronic valve).

The plants stop using CO2 at night when they stop photosynthesizing. Some people just let there be a (small) natural pH bump as part of the daily cycle. Some set up airstones on timers against the lights, so that CO2 runs constantly but is driven off at lights out by turbulence from the airstones. Some people use solenoids on timers that shutoff the CO2 at lights out. The most expensive high-tech route is to get a pH controller which shuts off the CO2 and turns it back on according to the pH. Ideally this would happen once a day -- its not a way to avoid setting a certain CO2 input level so that the solenoid is flipping on and off every five minutes. You'd still need everything else: tank, regulator, needle valve, reactor of some sort (all necessary), solenoid (optional, required for pH controller) and then the pH controller (optional). On that last link you gave the solenoid is the "magnetventil".

Most folks do without the expense of the solenoid/pH controllers and use one of the first two strategies (let it ride, set airstones on timers). Some folks just turn the CO2 off at night (by hand).
