How the heck...PH in QT
How the heck are we supposed to keep ph stable in a QT doing hyposalinity for destruction of ICH. I have swings everyday of more than .3...I don't think that's very good for the fish health? I add buffers everyday.
What is your trick?

pH will swing, there's no maintaining it, and it doesnt have that much of an impact on fish health. I would stop dosing the buffers (it's having other considerable impacts on your water quality) and let well enough alone. Where are you reading that you have to control pH?
