Hey guys,
First time poster, hopefully I've posted in the right section.
This is a simple question i hope. Ive been using pressurized Co2 and ive started to get blackbeard algae. After reading around, i found that maybe i haven't been providing enough Co2. So i used the sticky on this site with the Co2 chart to test my parameters.
I found that, in the last hour before my Co2 switches off (when i get home from work), my PH was 6.0 (using API test kit). But my KH from the tap and the tank at the time both were a barely yellow/clear color after one drop? What does this reading mean? It never went blue, just straight to basically clear water with slight tinge of yellow. Should the yellow be more pronounced?
Apologies for the wall of text. Thanks in advance for any advice.
