To measure CO2, you just need to get your Kh/pH and match them on a CO2 chart.

There are CO2 charts at these sites-

kH=5.0
pH=7.0
CO2 = 15 ppm

Mine is a little low compared to the rest of you but my plants still pearl and grow like crazy so I am not that worried.

As a general rule Kh 6 Ph 6.8 Which puts me in the tange of 30 ppm co2. I have ad it higher at times and there is some fluctuation each day.

Chief: I tried those sites but they only go to 20 kh and I have between 120 and 250.

If you divide your kh ppm by 17.9 it will convert it to degrees or dkh. If 120ppm is your kh, it would be 6.7 dkh. If 250ppm is your gh, that would be 14 dgh.

Use this site to transform ppms to degrees:

or this site has its own caculator above the chart,you can put your KH in as ppm and it will still caculate the right CO2

Oh, I got it now. Thanks.

co2 is diy, diy diffuser (powerhead with gravel vac tube), this method is more effective than the plastic ladder diffuser that I had been using previously.

I think I just saw Santa !!
