    Any guys here ask Chan how he know whether his tank's CO2 level is enough? By the way..many people say the pH before lights on is lowest and before lights off is highest..is it true? Coz mine seem to be opposite..

    Depends.

    If you turn your CO2 on and off with the lights. CO2 levels should be lowest before lights on, so your pH should be highest. CO2 levels should be highest before lights off, so your pH should be lowest.

    If CO2 is continuous (e.g. DIY), without aeration, then your CO2 will continue to build up thru the night and the vice versa happens.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    Vinz thanks for the feedback...ermmm ..can ask whether you use the pH/KH method to measure CO2 level in your tank or change to estimated style liao?

    hmmm...i never measure CO2 level. As long as plants are bubbling and fish ain't gasping, it's okay with me.

    However, I do check pH & kH once a week.
