Hello everybody! I want start injecting CO2 in my 300l planted tank. The tank has been cycling for 3 months now with following readings:
ammonia - 0
KH - 3 degrees (54ppm)
Ph 7.2 ( i am suprises it's that high, I always thought it'l less that that)
I use crashed corals in my external filter.
I tried to start injecting CO2 for 2 days and I think Ph crashed as all fish looked stressed and some started to loose their scales. I switched off CO2 after that.
Could you suggest me what to do.
Do I have to buffer my water and what is the best buffer available?
Do I have to buffer KH or Ph?
Thank you
