The temp stays at 79 degrees farhenhiet fairly constantly. I've checked that during several different times of the day even really late at night. You're right the specific grav. does fluctuate a bit and I have been having trouble maintaining that a bit. I try to keep it around 1.024 but alas I still have trouble with so much evaporation. So I will try and keep on that a bit better. My pH has been a lil weird. My alkilinity has been mostly around upper 4's, and alkilinity is supposed to maintain pH right?? Well when I started testing the water after the fish died, the pH was more around 7.9-8 so I added a lil buffer to the tank to raise it up a bit. Can you explain why my pH would be lower even though my alkilinity tested out a lil high? I'm just barely starting to understand how all these chemicals work together, so pardon my noobishness
