another plant question
Correct, anyone using DIY or pressurized CO2 must monitor the CO2 concentration, this is done by measuring PH and KH and referencing the following table: http://www.gpodio.com/co2_chart.asp
30ppm is considered the maximum, 15ppm is a good range for low to medium lit tanks. Above 40ppm we start to worry… The first 24 hours are key, once set, you rarely need to test a pressurized setup, while a DIY bottle should be checked weekly.
Thank you for the note, I should have added that link to my prior post.
