Since I’ve added some Zoa frags to my tank, I’ve had wild swings in dKh and PH in my Fluval 13.5G tank. I know with a small tank, this can occur, but any advice on how to stabilize this?
No ammonia or nitrite
Nitrate is between 5-10 ppm
No detectable phosphates (only have API kit so might not be catching the small amounts)
salinity is consistently 1.26-1.27
dKH has been fluctuating between 9 and 7.5
PH has been fluctuating between 7.8 and 8.4
I’ve not done anything to influence these numbers other than weekly water changes 10-20% and 5 Zoa frags.
I don’t think any of these numbers are concerning, but I’m concerned about dKH dipping too low and causing a PH spike into the danger zone.
Anyone have any tips?
