CO2 injected tank and quarantine tank
I've decided to inject CO2 into my 75 UK gallon (330 l) tank. This is my
main tank and usually has a pH of 8.1. My quarantine tank stays around a pH of 8.5. I'm adjusting the CO2 bubble rate very slowly, in the main tank, to get it down to about pH 7.4. Now a problem has suddenly arisen because of the large pH difference between these two tanks. I can transfer a fish from the main tank to the quarantine by placing it into an intermediate 3 gallon tank with aquarium water and waiting for the CO2 to dissipate. But how do I get a fish from the quarantine tank to the CO2 injected one without killing it with the pH difference? The only thing I can think of is to start injecting the quarantine tank too. What's the maximum pH swing per day a fish can tolerate? Nikki |
