Find out why your pH drops. What is your kH and GH (carbonate and general hardness)? If these are real low your pH can fluctuate pretty fast. I shoot for 3-4 for both.
What other things are in your water that could lower your pH? Peat, driftwood etc. I know exactly what pH I shoot for with every water change. I add acid buffer and akaline buffer from Seachem. I shoot for a pH of 7.0 and let the CO2 bring it down to about 6.2. The buffer also raises the kH to ~3-4. |
Sorry, a little late to take any pictures, but I did measure the water, and here what I have:
NH3/NH4 - 0 ppm
KH - 2 - 35.8ppm
GH - 5 - 89.5ppm
pH - 7.0 (now this is new, I never had 7.0 in my tank, so white "lava" rock did bring the pH up)
Can you please explain how to create a buffer?
Thanks.
