Hi i'm kinda new to this forum and i hope some people will be able to help me with my aquarium problem. I , like you, really like aquariums and fishs. So on to my problem.
Since a certain time now my PH is dangerously low 6.0 from my tester kit tell me. So reading on the internet i saw that KH is also a factor for stabilizing PH ( and i did wonder why after adjusting ph with "ph up" it did return back to the same level the day after ) So i decided to test my KH to find out that i had something between 20-80 mg/L which is kinda low. So my setting is the following:
- 15 Gallon Aquarium
- Fluvial underwater #2 Filter
- I have 1 real plant in it and the rest is all plastic plant ( which has grey hair algae on it )
- I have a air pump with 2 bubble stone
- 1 treated wood log for aquarium
- Fish : 2 Cobalt Gouramis, 2 Red Dwarf Gouramis, 2 Kissing Gouramis, 1 Clown Loach ( small one )
- Aquarium set up for almost 1 year now
So i can i stabilize my PH and KH so my fish fell better cuz i already lost 1 and another seem to be on the egde ? ( water changes doesn't really help already tried )
thanks
