Empty CO2 tank

Well, the CO2 tank is empty again.

I changed to my other today, good to have a spare one.
I checked my measurement log for time of tank emptiness, that was quite fun because you could see what happens.

I placed some figures on the graph to describe what happens (the purple line is CO2 on / off):

1: Tank empty somewhere here.

2: Light goes on and the CO2 uptake accelerates.

3: Light goes off.

4: Water change, this pushes the pH to ~7.5 but normally it only goes as far as 6.8 if the CO2 system is running normal.
