rookie still needs help: - (
I have been keeping a fish only aquarium for 3 years now. I have just
recently added some plants. I have money wart, a radican sword, and a water
sprite. I also had a foxtail but my fish ate it :- ( Any way my tap water
ph is around 8.0. I have always used proper ph 7.0 to keep my ph
stable. I have recently learned this is a phosphate buffer? I have also read
that it causes algae blooms. witch makes sense because since I added plants and
more light I have some unbelievable algae. I just added a home made diy co2
injector yesterday in hopes that my ph won't jump. What is the best way to keep
my algae and ph down? Also I have stopped using proper ph 7.0 and have done two 25% water changes without adjusting the ph. Is this the right thing to do? It hasn't effect my ph yet.
thanks Matt
