hi guys i have the jewel rio 180ltr with 6 tetra neon 5 platys 2 catfish 1 flying fox and 1 male betta with 8 baby platys in a breeder box with the fluval 306 filter, i have about 13 plants mostly potted, my question is i got the fluval 88g co2 kit today and it was very easy to setup (apart from a bit of gas that escaped when i screwed it down) at the same time i got the api kh kit as i was going to use the ph/kh to find out co2 levers untill i can get a drop checker, when i tested it i get to about 4 drops of kh until it goes from blue to a kinda yellow colour with a ph of 7 now i make that around 12ppm of co2 and my water is soft here but i havent got a gh test yet to check.

what does the test show with 4 drops of kh and a ph of 7 do i have little co2 or none or too much??
