Well since you are controlling co2 with pH increase the pH setting on the controller and change the effluent rate based on your aquarium kH readings.

Depends on if your alk in your aquarium is stable at that flow rate. EDIT Actually regardless of that you should probably raise the pH setting.

pH is directly related to how the carx media is broken down. If you are expecting 25dkh effluent with a pH of 6.5, but are getting 50 plus. The pH must not be correct and actually lower.

I don't think this is the reason why air is building up. I think it is correct to assume that the co2 is building up in the reactor because the co2 is coming in too fast. My guess is something is wrong with your pH probe.

The reason why i ask is you can get more into focus (increased depth of field) with a smaller aperture (larger f-stop number). To do this you need a tripod which you seem to have.

Ahh, makes sense. Did not realize it was the low voltage side.

What is the aperture setting on that photo?

What kind of lens is this?

May want to try to fix it first though. You don't want a fire before ecotech responds.

Its been a while since I updated this, my tank has been doing very well. Here is a small update with some photos.

Hey, it cleans itself.

Welcome back! I thought CDA was out of business?

I've cleaned my skimmer cup once in the last 2 years haha. I have a 5 gallon locker and a skimmer neck cleaner.

Raising PAR is going to turn it more red.

What's going on with your tank?

The problem is if you wait, you may just end up with the same normal flora in the tank.

Does it look like there is a lot of "life" on the rock? Or is it pretty bare?

What are your initial thoughts?

Have you done any research on which antibiotics Nautella sp. may be particularly susceptible to? Have you thought about seeding your tank with bacteria from a healthy tank right after antibiotic treatment?
