Note- This is not a controlled or absolute scientific test, just a fun observation.
Just wanted to share something interesting, I love seeing science in action while my wife and I are out of town. My tank (being in my bedroom) has always struggled with low pH. Even bringing in outside air via a skimmer or bubbler has not done all that much.
Anyway, I checked in on my parameters via APEX, and it is interesting to see the effect of no one in the house. Not only is the pH higher due to less carbon dioxide, the nightly swings are less significant because there are not 2 people sleeping in the room.
Check it out!
Next time that I go out of town but my wife stays, I will have to get a screen capture of that. Even just me being gone does have a noticeable difference.
