My 14 gallon Innovative marine nano is experiencing wide PH fluctuations between day and night.
The aquarium is in my bedroom in my NYC apartment (poor gas exchange in summer /winter with outside air). The effect is most pronounced when I am home but is present regardless.
I have an Air CO2 meter but need to get it out of storage.
the tank has a red haddoni carpet anemone, 2 spotcinctus clownfish, and an aptasia eating filefish.
I run a Tunze 9001 skimmer from 9pm to noon every day.
PH probe was Calibrated last week
My guess is that my PH issues are largely due to CO2 swings (photosynthetic vs non-photosynthetic parts of the day).
How should I try and decrease the variability?
