We then use a CO2 tank to drop the system PH. We have a controller set to increase PH 0.1 for every hour that passes until 8.0 is reached.
Once all the fish are properly acclimated and looking good, they get transferred over to the fish system for sale. |
I really like this method of lowering ph, since I have lots of CO2 equipment from my planted high tech days, I will be incorporating this into my acclimation and quarantine procedure
