Hey guys i just added a pressurized CO2 system on my 10 gallon yesterday, and stupid me didnt read the instructions right and kept the co2 running for a few hours which dropped my PH level to 4.6. After reading the instructions, i realized i needed to plug my regulator into my controller so it would shut off if levels were too low. So gradually i added some baking soda and got the PH back up to 7.0 over a few hour span. I just tested my water and it dropped again to 6.8, my GH is at a wopping 16.8 degrees, and my KH is at 2.2 degrees. The co2 hasnt kicked in again since i set it for 7.0 PH. My PH is gradually going down what is causing this to happen??? Should i change the water, leave it alone or do you guys suggest something else? At this rate i'll never get co2 into my aquarium since it wont ever go up to 7.0. Oh and just so everyone knows my water out of the tap is 7.2 PH.
Thanks for any help
