co2/plant..

[Amusebouche]

kh=4/ph= 6.9(+1/-1)
with a co2 system..
2 powerglos
1 marine glo(it was free)
33 gallon tank/well planted
iron is GOOD

but i don't think my plants r getting enough co2 cause none for my plants are showing signs of pearling.
plus if u add baking soda to raise the kh does this mean tHAT the co2 level goes up as well..
please Help ME!

Hi, with the figures you mentioned you should have around 15-19ppm of CO2 which is ideal (Provided you dont have any buffers in the water). You dont want to go any higher than this otherwise its harmfull to the fish. Raising the KH will not raise the CO2 level, it dosen,t work like that. The only way to raise CO2 is to put more CO2 in there. To learn more about this read this intersting article.Measuring CO2 levels

They are not pearling because you have a lack of some nutrient. it doens't matter how much light or CO2 you have unless you have the nutrients leveled. Do you add K?

The more light and CO2 you add the more nutrients you'll need, and probably you have a lack of one or several of them, it won't take long till algaes appear unless you act quickly.
