PH changes due to CO2 is correct. In day and night time PH readings are always different because of CO2 and its normal. I never experienced KH change due to CO2. If you have lower KH and a lot of CO2 then water will become very light. What it will affect on your fish depends on what you are...

@Alshain : LFS sold it to me saying its a driftwood but I also believe it looks more like root. The only reason I bought it is that it looks good. @rkilling1 & SHIFT_Unique: Do you guys mean AC as showed in the picture ? If yes how long shall I keep it in the filter ? How it affects PH/KH ?

I have shifted driftwood pieces to my aquarium. 2 weeks I was able to manage it in the bath tub but not anymore. My aquarium water has started getting brown as expected. Is there something which one can use in the Filter to get rid of this brown color or atleast to make it a little clear ...

For platy yes it started with white fungus on the eye then other fish started hitting and few days later the eye was gone and now the platy is again healthy with one eye but for zebra there was no sign of any fungus/redness/whiteness. almost 1 month ago it happened to my platy. All I have...

First of all check your water parameters and provide information about your tank size/setup. It will help to give proper advice. How much and how many time you feed the fish ?

Hi Zagz 3 months ago I had high nitrate problem. But since 2 months all parameters are fine. Regular PWC every weekend. Its occurring in my 26G you can see the picture and setup details in my signatures. Now its more heavily planted as seen in the picture. Tank mates are neon tetra, platy...

Valuable feedback indeed. Thanks guys. I will let you know once its ready.

Hi I have bought a new 52G. Its running without plants & fish with pressurized CO2. Cycle is over and all readings are fine. Now I want to add driftwood. I have bought two (don't know the name what kind of wood it is) Sine the wood is a little big I can't boil it. After cleaning/washing them...

@Alshain No its not a bulbed plant. I have seen this plant in green too. Its really hard to know which plant it is, may be flower will decide. :) @Apocalypse_Gold Seeds thats new to me. I think its a cutting because this plant automatically produces small plants and when they grow a little...

Thanks. I have searched but am unable to know what exectly it is. There are few names like Nymphaea rubra, Nymphaea lotus var. rubra, Nymphaea stellata, Nymphoides aquatica :roll: Nymphaea (zenkeri) picture I have seen but thats not mine one because I have only plant roots. Brown seed kind of...

I am looking for the name of this plant. :roll: What kind/color of flower it would be :?:

Babies birth and nitrate spike, never heard before :roll: . Whenever new babies are born its difficult not to feed them very often(may be they are hungry :wink: ) but nitrate level is saying something else. Overfeeding I am trying to control now. 3 days continuously 50% water change, nitrate...
