I just finished converting my bio filter to the skippy filter system. I also added an aerator. When do I add microbe lift products like gel bacteria to my scrubbies? I could have missed it, searched the sites and could not find any info. Temperatures in Ohio in the spriing go up and down, but my water temp is hoovering around 48-50. Another question, how can I get my PH level to stay down? It is always high 9.0. I use Ph down, and occasional get to use a buffer, but this never lasts for longer than a few days before it goes back up. :100: Love this site. You all know so much!!!
