Aquarium Advice Regular
hi ,, tanks been up and running for a month now thanks to the lfs we did it all backwards, all been surprising good untill today , all test come up great ,cycled quick using biospiro stuff, added fish about 1 week into it , great for 1 week , added more and live rock , all fine 1 week , added more 2 days ago , this morning 3 fish acting distressed , hugging corners or top of tank , coral beauty looks like having trouble breathing , yellow tang rubbing on rocks , green cromis seems to be picking ssomething off it ,?? but i cant see a thing on it, when i tested this morning my ph was very low 7.9 so i did a water change and that fixed it , all other levels are good,, could it have been the ph level being so low making them act sick or do i have a bigger problem
