I purchased American Pinpoint PH Controller couple of weeks backs and finally set it up last night.
My KH is around 2.5 - 3 and I think I can maintain it there.
I have set the PH Controller as follows
Low 6.4
High 6.6
giving center value of 6.5
So that would maintain 22.6 to 33.2 ppm of CO2.
Is that the right numbers to aim for?
I put the PH probe in one of the compartments in the overflow sump of my all in one tank at back right next to the compartments with all my filter, so should give me a clean data without rouge stray current.
The PH controller is set on a timer to start 1 hour before Photoperiod.
Observation:
The solenoid kicked 1 hour before photo period, and by the time lights went on I was already at 6.4 ppm
it slowly ticked down to 6.6 when the solenoid kicked back in.
I did not change my CO2 bps and before today I used to have it on all the time at that level, which would mean I was injecting a lot more CO2, the reason some of my fish were also hiding all the time.
Anyways, can someone confirm my setup is correct

6.4 thru 6.6 low and high targets for PH at 3 dKH.
