I thought I had this together, but clearly I have a lot more to learn! Afish is back to his hungry active self, but the pH in how tank keys swinging around. Like it ran the full range from 6 to 8 in under 3 days and I don't know why!!! I did a full water change and took the rocks out of his tank. I have also been keeping a log for the past week or so. All his tests have come back at a steady 7.6 until last night when it was between 7.6 and 7.4 and then I rested about an hour ago and it's at 6. All the other levels are normal (0 ppm for nitrates and nitrite) except for ammonia which is at .25 before I dosed the tank with ammo lock. The ammonia has gone up before without the pH changing at all, so I don't know what's causing it! Does anyone know what's happening and how I fix it? Also any tips on keeping ammonia down would be helpful. There's no food or leftover poop that I've seen, to raise it.
