Hi guys,

I've just switched salts, back to IO. After mixing it up, I was getting an Alk of 12, and I've since lowered it to 7.4 (I like it to keep it between 7.5-8). My question is about venting out the CO2. I don't have an air pump, instead I have a ton of flow (Tunze 6095 in a 10G vat).

How long should I allow the water to mix for, to fully vent off the CO2 (Without using something like an air pump)?
