I set this pressurized system up about 5 days ago and started out at 30 bpm, and have been increasing it daily. I've gone to 60, 90, 120, etc. and am now at over 2 bps. I've yet to get the pH below 7.4 with it running 24 hours (it does have a controller). The 7.4 comes at night and then it goes back up again when the lights come on. I'm using the Plant Guild reactor and that seems full of churning bubbles.
I'm also starting to get pearling at the 7.4 pH.
I've checked my KH a few times and it seems to be a pretty steady 7+, so I'm shooting for a pH of 7 or maybe 6.9.
Anyway, is there a point where I could be increasing the bubble rate too much? If so, what would that point be?
Thanks.
