Calling all chemists...
So I've had this discus in a 29g hospital tank being treated for hex for 11 days. Bare bottom tank, 40% water change daily. He's back to his old self, eating great and ready to join his buddies in the 55g.
Tested the PH in both tanks. 29g 7.0 (just like the tap). 55g is down to 6.2. Same filters, I only change 25% daily in the 55g and it currently has 8 adult discus. What's up with that? The only difference in the tanks is the number of fish! But you'd think the water changes would stabalize it, right???? Apparently not
