Fish Crazy
I got my CO2 up and running last night 
I found a formula on the site, and basically did: 190L x 4KH / 50 = 15.2 bubbles per minute.
I first tested my PH, and dang it had gone up since last test and was sitting at 8.
KH sitting at 4.
Looking at the chart, that puts me at 1.2ppm.... is that correct?
So i now have it set to 15 bubbles per min....
I left it running over night and re-counted the bubbles just to make sure it still at 15, and it was....
Tested the PH after running for aprox 12 hours and its dropped to 7.6, which now puts me at 3ppm....
How long should it take to reach 30ppm?.... i didnt wanna crank the heck outta it n stress the fish too bad, but im thinking it might take more then 15 bpm(bubbles per min)
Course keep in mind, this tank has 2 uprises running 2 airstones, and im sure that aint helping the co2 level.
Sooo.. just as im getting pumped up to get my CO2 going, what comes in the mail?
My new Coralife Hood! 2x65 watt 50/50 bulbs
Sooo... ya i know, but i HAD to hook it up n see
Its Nice!!! Only 1 problem.... my glass lid has a split down the long length that acts like a hinge to open up the front part for access.... this center 'split' is hinged with a 1 inch piece of plastic so i cant run my lights in the center of the tank... ive either gotta slide em to the front half of the tank, or the back half....
When i do either one, the other half gets too dark... grrr....
So i moved em to the front, then laid one of my 40 watt bulbs over the back and its Nice n lit up
Course that puts me at about 3.1 wpg!!
Yowsa!
That CO2 better start kicking in.. heh.. actually, ill prob back the bulbs back under 2wpg till the co2 level comes up...
How long that will take, is the question
Having fun though!!!!
