Here are my latest test results for my 12g nanocube:
Amm: 0
pH: 7.7
Temp 77f
PO4: 0
NO3: 5ppm
Mg: 1400ppm
Ca: 485ppm
SG: 1.023
Alk: 177ppm
The pH usually sits at 7.8 because of a co2 problem with my sealed house (in south Florida). I hung the lid about 6 inches above the tank to make room for equipment in the sump. My favia looks happy and the tank overall seems ok. Did I increase the co2 in the water by taking off the lid? If so, what, if anything, should I do about this. I can't get any outside air to the tank because of where it is. I have a phosban reactor but not a skimmer. Any help would be appreciated! Would a skimmer help if only for oxygenating the water? I really don't need one for nutrients.
