    CO2 and Ph

    Interesting data from the meeting I thought would be fun to share.
    Here's the ph plot for the night.
    Check out how the ph drops and recovers as people (CO2 emitters) come and go

    Most show up 620 to 7:00. Most leave 10:00 to 10:30ish

    I keep water, last checked about 600 gallons worth.
    Problem is animals keep using it as there water closet.
    Worst of all the littlest ones keep using up all the supplies.

    Looks like you had a reef meeting with several people in the house. Looks like a few people started to leave about 10:30 and most around 11:30. Must have been a good meeting.

    What caused the rise from 1-7? Have you thought about using a CO2 scrubber? I thought about it but I don't monitor pH currently so I wouldn't be able to look at any benefits data-wise to see if it was helping. I am sure my coral would tell me if it was going drastically bad.

    Dailey diurnal cycle lights turn on before noon. Kalk in ato may have ran too.

    Scrubber Nope. Unless I start throwing nightly parties

    I did just add a better skimmer which may keep the tank closer to the room. So in the above illustration may make it worse 😱. I don't hold too much value in a probe ph reading. ( seems to calibrate high anyways.). More looking for swings out of the normal.
