Hello All
I decided a couple of weeks ago to "beef up" my planted discus tank (still keeping 1.3 watts per gallon) with lots more plants. Hope I don't regret this as I had problems before when I tried a high tech planted tank.
I turned the CO2 back on (on and off with lights) and raised my kh back to 3.5 for safety. The CO2 level gets up to mid 30ppm by nighttime. Now my pH is around 7.0 in the am and 6.5 by lights out. Will this daily .5 point drop and increase take a toll on my 4 adult discus. They seem not to notice at all, but I am asking just the same.
Thanks
Michael
