Stick with it, mate - show that Yorkshire grit. Don't sweat the frags, they can wait. It'll all come good in the end... just breathe deep. Good luck with the treatment, I feel your stress - this side of the hobby's a whole different ball game, physically and mentally draining.

Appreciate all the tips, folks. Gonna start slow with the CO2 and grab a pH controller this weekend. My acros better appreciate this hassle.

Start slow with the CO2, like 1 bubble per second. Test your alkalinity every few hours to see how it's affecting the tank. I run mine at 1.5 bps for a 150-gallon system, but every setup's different. What's your current alk level?


My alk's at 7.5 dKH right now. I'll try the 1 bps and test like ...
