Hello. Im a new member but old to the fish business...
There is an issue occuring in my 37 gl that has me perplexed. CO2 is flowing but its not bonding with the tank water.
Never dealt with this before and am hoping I am too close to see the 'simple problem'.
Stats:
37 gallon tank
Heavily planted w/annubias, val, annach, several larger flowing plants, crypts and ferns
DIY CO2 generating 4-5 bps
Co2 is released into the intake of a MaxiJet 900 250gph ph and travels directly to a Via Aqua chem reactor, the bottom of which is three inches of ceramic bio cylinders...the solution is then sent to the bottom of the tank where it is released through a flow diffuser....there are many fine bubbles inside of the reactor and many more being released into the water column but the pH has not moved from 7.5/7.8. Any ideas?
