[AquaticLife] PH Variation in tank (tropical)
What is the capacity of this tank in gallons?
It isn’t clear what you are doing to this tank. You say “”I only use a little bit”". A little bit of what? Ph adjuster? Water?
The guys are right about not using ph adjuster; usually not a good thing. The ph has a tendency to bounce back to some predetermined level, and if you are adding buffers you could even be changing what that level is.
What is the ph of your tap water when it comes from the tap?
Under some condition it is possible for water changes to cause ph swings. For instance, teh water where I live is extremely alkaline, to the point that once air bubbles through it the ph drops dramatically. Better believe I bubble air through it before I add it to the fish tank!
