Re: [AGA Member] CO2 concentration in Hard water
Oh I didn't mean to cause any trouble.... Sorry if I did....
Just wanted to know whether Red Sea info was correct.
Never said that rising the KH will effect the CO2 levels just wanted to know
whether higher KH levels can hold larger amount of CO2.
As it was mentioned in the Red Sea manual.
Sorry once more.
