I left for a week and put a shrimp inside...
I have 20lbs of live rock inside my 29g aquarium.. and 20lbs of dead rock..
it has been established for 2 weeks, and 1 week with the shrimp..
PH was 7.8 when I got back and 8.2 before I left for a week.. (keeps going down)
I used some Seachem PH powder to get it back up to 8.2 when I came back.. In total I used half a bottle of the stuff.. 250grams and the PH still goes down slowly.
The shrimp is covered in white goo and glued itself to a rock ... but all tests indicate no cycle..
I have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrate, 0 nitrite..
My water temp is set to 75 and SG at 1.023..
Any ideas?
