Tank: 17g rimless
Inhabitants: 1 betta
Co2 injection
Lighting: 3 watts per gallon at least from buildmyled
Today's readings: ammonia 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate 2
Ph 6.5

Gh 180
We've noticed a persistent cloudiness. The tank has been running with plants only for the last two months we added ghost shrimp a few weeks ago and they died. Did a big water change and let it run again, ended up with an unexpected betta and he has been in the tank for a whole week. I think she shrino died from the shock of ph change from one of our tanks to another. We took for granted they would all be a similar ph since they all use the same tap water.
I've noticed he seems lethargic so we are doing a rescue mission and drip acclimating him to one of our other less toxic tanks with fry (I think they're big enough that he can't hurt them)
Our water is usually very basic and very hard. Ph is usually around 8. that is a look at an other tank tested on the same day with no co2 injection and fully stocked.
this is from our 180 with similar lights and co2 injection.
My question is... Why is this 17g so weird so suddenly?
