Notes:
Oops, the pH had dropped down to 6.4, which would mean 60 ppm with a KH of 5. I guess the reactor is much more efficient after I switched it to the output line of the filter. I lowered the CO2 rate to 1 bubble/sec. One of the otos died. It had been looking pretty scrawny, grey colored rather than the usual brown, and listless yesterday, and today, I found it stuck against a filter intake. A black molly also died. RIP. In the evening, I noticed that the pH wasn’t increasing, so I shut off the CO2 for a couple hours and dropped the CO2 rate to 0.5 bubbles a second when I turned it back on. I didn’t bother to dose the nitrates and phosphates today, since I’m going to change the water tomorrow anyways.
