Rather interesting subject Heka. Still checking but looks like a combination effect. Algae, cloudy, night (absorb o2 give off co2)
low pressure decrease waters ability to hold gas, ph swing thunderstorm, stratification thunderstorm. There are some interesting articles re No etc in thunderstorm rain (but most are those *sigh* pay for it stuff).
Easy to read link :) http://www.miamidade.gov/derm/library/c ... _kills.pdf

OK, with you now... so both the bluelab and the master test kit were showing pH 5.5... right...

just an aside... tested my main perch tank tonite.... had been running pH 7.4 about a month ago.... now reading pH 6.4, but I've been pumping the feed into the perch (about double from last month)... and the temp is a pretty constant 26 degrees....

Threw a big "conch" shell into the trickle filter... will see what it does... :wink:

I've got the batteries in my PH tester now. Might start taking daily reading and see if there is another change when it rains. Feed is kinda standard unless I'm relaxing. :drunken:

Thats odd, buffering usually holds ph up against the downward swing. Leaves and wood rotting etc can continually pull down but not common in AP. Sure its not algae in the system F&F? Measure 2x once in the early morning and once late afternoon on a sunny day. :) :drunken:
