I just bought a co2 detector.
The lowest number that this one detects is 400ppm. It constantly reads 400ppm. I was wondering if the unit may be defective. I do live alone and there's probably minimal co2 in my home. If I breathe into the unit several times it will raise the numbers significantly then go back down to 400ppm.
The reason for getting a meter is to see a baseline to see if I need either a co2 scrubber or feeding the airline tubing from my skimmer to the outside.
Incidentally, my ph readings are actually pretty good (8.15 - 8.25). I'd like a small bump to bring it to 8.3 - 8.4.
thanks,
Albert
