I am trying to discover the cause of a consistent problem with low PH.
It stays as low as 6.2 no matter what I've tried. The tank is about 4 mts old. 55 gallon. It cycled, but this low PH is inhibiting bacteria survival so I'm having to fight ammonia until I can solve the riddle.
Some readings suggest hevily planted tanks can be part of the problem. Anyone have this experience with their plant +fish tanks?
I've added Texas Holey rock used in chiclid tanks to raise PH. I've also tried adding some crushed coral in little sacks into the tank. Neither has done the job.
My plants are thriving, my fish seem happy enough, no odd behavior or losses. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
