I have two tanks. One is 120 gallons and one is 29 gallons. In my 29 gallon tank the ph is LOOOOOOW... 4.3 The EXACT same water that goes in the big tank is 6.0. All I can think of is the substrate is different and causing the difference? The tank with a low PH (29 gallon) has a gravel substrate from back in the days when I didn't know any better. I have read that gravel can trap things that would lower the ph. SOoooo, that said I have gravel siphoned that tank at least 50 times over and its water comes out crystal clear in hopes I have got all the debri and STILL the ph is lower. Now, why the heck would this be???
Any thoughts? Thanks
For the record I have just calibrated the PH tester and still question it but all side tests read seemingly appropriate.
