Hello folks, I am currently looking at setting up a DIY co2 system for my 60 gallon. I have made the decision to go with a DIY instead of pressurized as its much cheaper and after doing a lot of reading i figure i can get away with a DIY even though my tank is 60 gallons. Anyways my tank has been running for approx 2 and half months now, water quality is high and fish are happy. My first concern about adding the co2 is that its going to change my pH and harm my fish. Is this something I should be concerned about? Is there any way I could maybe ease the co2 into the tank so it won't create such a change so fast. Another concern is that I don't want to have to start adding major ferts N-P-K as thats just one more thing I have to take care of, so if I use the DIY co2 system will I be reaching high co2 levels where dosing fertilizers is going to be required? ps i am dosing a trace fertilizer, seachem flourish.
thanks for any feedback.
