Re: [GSAS-Member] Has anyone had trouble with CO2 poisoning?

If you get a drop
checker<http://images.google.com/images?q=CO2%20drop%20checker&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi>you
can get a constant reading of the approximate CO2 level in the water.
The Red Sea one is supposed to be good and cheap, or you can buy fancy glass
ones.

Also, if you know pH and carbonate hardness, you can calculate PPM CO2.
There is a tool for that here.
