Hi all, I have another question about the Co2 injection:

My tank currently has a PH of 6.5, a KH of 1 and a GH of 2, this is without any Co2, Ph is low because of the large piece of driftwood and KH is low because the tank was filled with bottled water.

My question is, since the tank already has a low ph and KH does this mean it has a good amount of Co2? How could this be possible if I still haven´t injected any co2 yet?

What would happen once I start the Co2 system? since it would be controlled via a ph controller would it be off all the time?
