Hi and welcome to land of co2.. Your ph will drop as co2 forms carbonic acid which lowers you co2. It is very important that you water has good buffering capacity as in KH (carbonite hardness). About 70 ppm or 4degrees hardness is an average number needed. You will need to test your water with a kh test kit. If it is too low you can add baking soda (NOT baking powder) 1 tsp 10 gals very slowly over a period of time until you get a good kh reading. Once your kh has risen above 70ppm you won’t have too worry about your ph crashing. I just treat my water during water changes and then pump in the new water already kh boosted.

At the First Tai Chi Master Seminar held in Chengdu, Sichuan Province in Dec. 1986, the three state units, Sichuan Chengdu Physical Culture College, Sichuan Provincial Scientific Research Institute for Physical Culture and Liberation Army Scientific Research Institute Sichuan Office, tested muscle in its normal state and during the use of explosive force in Chen-style Tai Chi Routine Ⅱ . Master Chen Xiaowang, was tested by electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram and electromusclegram, the results were that Chen-style Tai Chi’s exercise amount and intensity are stronger and return to normal states more quickly than other exercises. In the electromusclegram test, it took only 0.015 of a second, for muscle, to return to its normal, relaxed state from a tensed state. So Chen-style Tai Chi can generate incredible speed and power which, of course, is what most practitioners are looking for.By relaxation in the spiral part of Chen-style Tai Chi, you can naturally use three kinds of force: permeating force, dissolving force and penetrative force.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
friends — if they’re okay, then it’s you.

Life is nothing more than a box of chocolates. Lucky for me, I only like the sweet ones. Milk chocolate and varieties of truffles.
