hey just wanted some info on my apistos.
I have wild caught apisto iniridae and I am using R/O water with some KH Booster from Nutrafin.
the tds of the R/O is 0 . and the ph is about 7.0
I need to get around ph of 4.0 or less for these guys. the tank is 4.8 ph now and the female is no longer hiding and getting picked on by the male. actually she is ready to spawn and he is on the run ..
So the problem is the ph wants to keep going up through the night and its 5.0-5.5 in the morning. im using ph down wich is sulphuric acid. I get the ph to 4.6 ish in the morning and that's fine for the day till the next morning. the perameters are less than 1 degree of hardness and the tds is around 40
why would my ph go up through the night?
any help would be great.
thanks
