Adding dissolved CO2 to the water will lower pH. I am wondering if the inverse is true, lowering pH by using some portion of RO for water changes will that allow more CO2 to be dissolved in the water?
Current parameters:
pH - 8.1
KH - 8
Using the chart shows ~2ppm dissolved CO2. Reducing pH to 7.5 (KH to 6 I assume would go down due to RO) increases dissolved CO2 to ~6 ppm a 3x increase. I realize the chart may be inaccurate in this particular situation (no CO2 injection).
Thanks
