i'm using ACIII to control the ph in the reactor.

If pH > 06.70 Then CO2 ON
If pH < 06.50 Then CO2 OFF

I guess the next question is how big is your water volume?

how fast is the flow through the reactor if you know?

how big is your reactor?

Hear is a calc that I have used in the past and it will help you in tuning your system.

be careful with the the co2 lowering you ph in the tank. I had this happen to me once it bit me in the butt once..:(
