Hi all, I've been doing some research on lighting for my Fluval Edge 23L and still at a loss. A recent purchase of some rubble has turned up a small colony of zoa and a mushroom. So now I need to think about my lighting some more. Currently I have the stock led lights. About 5w I believe. No...

Well, just by leaving the lid off, I have managed to raise pH to 7.8 - 8. Must be the gas exchange as advised. Cheers. Sent from my XT1021 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ta. I'll try that :) Sent from my XT1021 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Cheers. Seems to stay at 7.6 whatever time I test at. And 7.6 is the lowest reading on my kit (red sea). I just hope it isn't much lower. Sent from my XT1021 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Kh at 12 should be OK though? Maybe a calcium buff needed? Having said that, its a fluval edge so totally covered. This could be it! I'll be looking to mod the lid when I can afford to upgrade lighting. Sent from my XT1021 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm hoping to add a hectors goby in the near future, if that makes a difference. Obviously acclimatising would take longer. Sent from my XT1021 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Small powerhead. Fluval Sea CP1 I think. Sent from my XT1021 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Is the driftwood the only change? Sounds like that is the cause. 6.4 isn't too bad (ok, the quick swing isn't the most ideal) but it depends on what you are keeping I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice assuming the app didn't crash.

I'm fresh out of ideas guys. Today's test.... Ph: 7:6 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0.5 Alkalinity: 12 (4.3 meq/l) Salinity: 1.024 I am now a peppermint shrimp less :( and ph won't budge. Anyone else had a similar problem shifting ph? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice assuming...

Yes. I have been testing store water. That's how I know its fine :p Sent from my XT1021 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'll have to check that later. Odd thing is I use shop water where parameters are fine, so there has to be something with my set up that is causing it to crash. Ill give the baking soda a go, but I'd rather understand the problem for the long term. Any ideas? Sent from my XT1021 using...

8pm. But I've checked at various stages over last few days. Is a fluctuation from 8.2 to 7.6 normal? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice assuming the app didn't crash.

I've got a 23L edge set up, live rock, a peppermint shrimp and a couple of Halloween Hermits. Recently I've noticed the pH drop from around 8-8.2 down to 7.6. No ill effects on the inhabitants but I can't understand the crash. Water I buy is 8.2 and the hob filter provides the oxygenation...

I've found that flow plays a big part on Java moss. Not enough and it starts to die. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice assuming the app didn't crash.

The weirdest thing happened. I have 2 Halloween hermits in the edge now. Last night I came to see them and one of them had been murdered , and chopped up. So I moved the adjacent shells to remove the corpse. Within a minute, both shells scuttled away. Could one shell have been housing 2...
