Good Morning,
I have read quite a few post in the forum when I have time. Soon I will move into a new house, so I put my 6 wild discus from the aquarium of 700L into an aquarium of 240L temporarily.
Every day i change about 6L to 12L of water to remove the waste they produce. I have read in several posts that some people changes 50% of water per day and I wonder if i have been changing enough water per day???
Another thing is my tap water comes out with an ph of 7.8 and when i do my daily water change the pH rises slightly to 6.6 and then gradually falls off to 6.0 and the next day when i do the water change the ph raises to 6.6 again and falls to 6.0 in 24H. I can check this because i have a controller of ph..... wich is accurate......
Read a post on breathing discus lowering the pH of the water will breathing ... should this be the reason wy my ph lowers so much? I'm afraid these oscillations harm the fish.
Try to do some tests of my water to give some details...
Fish look great and been fine for more than a month in these conditions....
