7.2..... why?
I have been doing PWCs every 4 days. I change 1.5 to 2 gallons out of my 12 gallon nano cube... I use fresh saltwater from the lfs that is made with RO water and instant ocean salt...
pH will be fine when I first add the new water, then a day later.. it shoots down... it is going lower and lower... this is the lowest so far...
what should I do? what could be causing this?
other params are...
ammonia-0
nitrite-0
nitrate->10
alk-300
phosphate-0
salinity-1.025
temp-78 (lowered it because my zoas weren't opening... some are now)
toadstool leather, feather duster, 2 zoas, 2 mushrooms, 2 scarlet hermits, 8 cerith snails, 8 nassa snails, emerald crab, a few hitchhikers that I know of... some little brittle stars and a couple of what appears to be peanut worms?.... lights are 2 pc 24 watt 50/50... 20 pounds of live rock including rubble... stock flow... carbon (should I remove it?) and removed the sponge and replaced with filter floss in the first chamber
tank is one month old.... pH starting dropping when I added my new frags... added 7... I think 4 are dead
