Well instead of shaking the hell out of it, I put 1L of the water into a jar, and put a Rena 400 air pump on a stone into it. You cannot see water there are so many bubbles. Before air 7.91 after air 8.18. Moral of the story, I have co2 buildup. I have more flow in this tank then I do in some of my Cichlid tanks, and they don't buildup co2. So what can I do to reduce this, other then a stupid amount of water flow? I just put a powerhead in aiming at the top of the water. I am going to try to get a skimmer soon, anything else I can do? For now I will keep the filter running off the overflow box. I have absolutely no idea why the co2 is building up, so what I am going to do is have my cousin who is lisenced to serive furnaces come over and take a look at my furnace, and see if everything there is ok. I am thinking it's not. Thanks a million!
