Co2 And Pearling

[radioman]

have a 36 gallon that has 2 nutrafin yeast setups with a steady supplyof co2 that came out to 26ppm which was calculated from a chart which I undersatnd to not always be accurate then I have a diy nano that is pearling like crazy. Should I worry that my 36g is not pearling or do you think that it is getting enough co2 my kh is 40 and ph 6.4 but it is not pearling.

So my main question is if i am getting good growth and my fish are fine should I worry about my co2 ppms?

55% water change with EI dosing...When mine does not pearl it is from a lack of some nutrient for the plants....

Pearling is really a result of the lighting, if there lighting isn't high enough the plants wont pearl no matter what you do.

You only need to worry about CO2 if you start getting algae. 25ppm is a decent amount. Other fert systems like PMDD dont require the CO2 to be so high, it can even be down as low as 15ppm.

So in other words no if it were me I won't worry unless the plants give you a reason to worry
