I used TI's MSP430F149 here. I don't like PICs at all

I wonder what the KH is?
As niko wrote above, that's probably an evidence of gradual CO2 exhaustion. Maybe after a couple more days without CO2 injection the low/high levels would not differ daily.

Tank's kH is about 6-7 deg - a good carbonate buffering ability. I suppose the swings would be much greater in softer water.
