Tip of the Day – 10/16/09

If you have a lot of guests in your house for the holidays or for whatever reason, it might be a good choice to crack a window. As people linger in your residence, they emit a lot of CO2 due to talking and breathing. The CO2 will build up in the room and if your aquarium is nearby, the pH of the tank can slowly drop during the get-together. While the drop may be small, it is still a fluctuation that might cause some stress to your livestock.
