 drawbacks with CO2
ok...so when using pressurized CO2 how does one control the pH ..my tanks now have a steady pH of around 7.4 thanks to a nice bicarbonate buffering system with my eco complete...without the pressurized CO2 this system with stay for around 5yrs or so...with pressurized CO2 the buffer system will deteriorate in 1-2yrs and thats when the pH will no longer hold spike in acidity..right? and the only way to go around this is to add baking soda?...Can you buy calcium bicarbonate rocks online? Or is changing out the substrate every two years a must? Anyone experience this problem after two years of pressurized CO2 use in their tanks? Any tips?
