Hi Guys
I know the theory, but putting it into practice is driving me doolally.
My CO2 comes on 3 hours before my lights (15:00 - lights at 6) and I don't get 1 unit PH drop, less than .5 in fact.
Not long after lights come on, the fish start showing signs of distress. Dwarf Rainbows and Harlequin Rasboras.
I have surface agitation to try and keep the fish on side, but its not working.
I am loathed to increase surface agitation, and more and it will be breaking the surface.
My KH is about 5 and GH about 4 which I don't think is going to cause any issues.
Are there any other factors which could be adding to the distress of my fish.
My drop checkers are lime green.
Any tips or gentle nudges in the right direction.
Thanks
Aaron
