I watched my pH drop & drop & drop (overnight) thinking it was faulty reading on my continuous pH meter. Well it turned out the CO2 bottle was LEAKING in my cabinet and you know where my air pump was placed :?
SO if you have a pressurized CO2 cylinder placed in a cabinet under your tank make sure your air pump is located else where. Or like me you can run the risk of taking your ph from 6.3 down to 4.8 within a couple of hours.
I did a 20% water change this morning bring it from 4.8 to 5.3 and over the day I'm back to 6.15.
cheers
OH by the way my Discus seem OK...and my leak was from the bottle valve not one of my connections :)
