Just a comment on that sentence.I'm toying with the idea of adding an additional probe to compare the ph of effluent once it leaves my second c02 reactor chamber to compare it with ph levels inside my reactor.
Just a comment on that sentence.
While the pH can indicate whether the CO2 you are adding is being used as efficiently as possible, it does not indicate what the pH effect will be on the aquarium. A second chamber pH will be higher, but unless you alter the CO2 added somehow, it still all ends up in the tank, potentially lowering pH to the same degree. It’s just a matter of how much alk and calcium it carries along with the CO2.
I skimmed through this thread, may have missed this already.
Have you double-checked the apex numbers with another method/probe to validate the pH readings?
Hmm that is interesting I have been wondering if I was also experiencing issues with the calcium reactor over gassing as well, maybe the c02 controller getting stuck. I’ve noticed that my ph in the calcium reactor is much more consistent now where as before it would spike up as new water was brought into the reactor.@brahm have you stolen my PH? Look what happened to mine in the last couple of days. My thinking is that my Dastaco calcium reactor has a fault on the integra controller, because the swings are too violent. I have calibrated the probe which is only 8 weeks old.
I thought 3:40 and on was interesting to this conversation. he also talks about probe calibration is prob worth listening to

hope these help, it is a bit puzzling…
