Aquarium CO2 Calculator

Determine optimal carbon dioxide levels from pH and KH.

Water Parameters

pH Level

7.0 pH

Carbonate Hardness (KH)

4 dKH

Note: This calculation assumes that the only source of acidity in the water is carbonic acid (from CO2). Peat, driftwood tannins, or pH-altering substrates can skew results.

Low Optimal High Danger

Marker indicates current level (Max scale: 50ppm)
