dymaxiun Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Anyon have a hard time stabilizing the pH in you Nano Cubes? i have a 24, and i cant get it to stabalize over 8.0 All my other tanks are just fine and never had a problem.. only with this tank. Is it a saturation of CO2? If so how can i get more Oxygen in the tank? I know you cant run any type of HO filtration / skimming without major modifications. I need some help fast.. i don't want to dose the tank since i don't think it is necessary to ever dose anything. HELP HELP HELP I am out of ideas.... TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TO BUFFER THE WATER!!! NOT A SOLUTION! Link to comment
pdhenderson Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 do want to use a stabilzer huh? kent pro buffer worked for me, used it twice, havent used since febuary, stable. good luck Link to comment
dymaxiun Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 I "don't" want to buffer the water... Like i sad before this is the onl tank that needs it... Link to comment
oogie Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 How big are the fluctuations? Also, whats the difference in PH during day and night? Link to comment
artarmon42 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 It's unclear what your other tanks are that don't have problems... As a wild guess, the other tanks aren't Nano Cubes? If so, I'd suggest it's the lack of oxygen or more specifically lack of oxygen exchange, intrinsic to the Nano Cube design. It was clear to me when I was trying to cool my tank, that there simply isn't enough venting of the air gap (between the splashguard and the water surface). Lack of venting = CO2 build up.

dymaxiun Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah i figure it to be as much as lack of circulation in the hood. I will try to get more surface agitation (more as in storm system agitation) and see if that helps... Thanks for your input... Link to comment
