Aquarium Advice Regular
My tank is running beautifully so far, however, I have two questions. Probably stupid, but I'd your input. My ammonia is gone and my nitrites are none existant. My calcuim is at 400ppm, but
1. my pH drops during the night. I'm not sure why, but during the days, while I'm topping my tank of with 1 gallon of RO with Kalkwasser, my pH stays at 8.3. In the mornings, it drops to 7.9. Once the lights go on, it starts to go up. Why? My fuge currently has nothing in it except a 6in LS base. Should I install a light on it already, just to help with the pH?
2. Is a heater necessary? My tanks temp drops about 2 degrees from the time the lights go off, till they turn back on in the am. Maybe the question above will also solve this problem.
Let me know what you guys think.
