I am thinking about buying a CO2 set-up. My algae problem is annoying, and everyone seems to agree that more CO2 is the answer.
So,
1. Do I need a bubble counter if I use a pH monitor?
2. Also, on Aquabotanic's site, they offer a combo - solenoid/pH monitor. Does the combo not come with all the necessary supplies to make the set-up work (other than the tank)?
3. Do I need to buy the hoses offered?
4. What about calibration fluid? Bubble counter fluid?
5. Does the monitor control the CO2 output? Or does it just tell the pH level and I control the output?
6. Finally what is this about bubble count? Is there a standard for counting bubbles?
As you can probably tell, I am completely ignorant about this topic here.
Thank you for any advice.
David
