Lizardgi
I used to have lizards
So my tanks PH is typically always 7.8. It doesn't matter the time or light schedule, it's always 7.8. I know this isn't terrible, but as I'd like to get more and more into SPS corals, 8.2 will be better in the long run. Today we had one of the first days in a very long time we were able to open all the windows in the house and the basement (where the tank is). After 8 hours of fresh air, the PH in the tank jumped to 8.2! While I'm sure the jump is bad for the tank, I now know that I've got issues with CO2.
My goal for the next few weeks will be getting this fixed, not just for my fishes, but for the health of my house as well. My first plan is to have my central air and furnace inspected / tuned up just to make sure everything checks out there. If all is well, I might try to run a fresh air supply into the basement fish room from an upstairs room. If I ran a skimmer, I'd run a fresh air line from outside to the intake, but that's not an option now.
Well that's my story!
