Co2 And Kh Question?

[wolfwolf]

Here is the response from Red Sea. I am not a chemist. Does this make sense, anyone???





Dear Shawn,



The Molarity of the acid use in the regent is high enough to void any dKH interference .



Best regards




Sharon Ram,

Chief scientist

Lets break this down into bits -

Molarity = Number of "Moles" of any atomic species within a set volume of water - i.e. concentration, or amount of solute per unit volume.

acid used in the reagent = Bromethyl blue is slightly acidic. So no idea what the acid is that they use.

Maybe they use Bromethyl blue at a stupidly high concentration - but then why would the label on the bottle say flammable?

okay - im confused.

wirte back and ask them for more info

I've asked on the thread I linked to above what they think

I can guess the response and it should be something you can copy/paste into your reply if I am thinking correctly.

This looks like it will be a 'Chief Scientist' of a general aquarium supplies manufacturer versus the virtual world leader in aquatic plant research!!!!

I know whose info I would take for granted from the above

Don't want to pick sides but "Chief Scientist" is a mighty imposing title.

We can send a man to the moon but we cannot check the co2 in an aquarium...

On a side note my plants are growing like crazy and look super healthy since the additon of co2. Still working on a fert schedule.
