So the pH in my tank is at 6.5 and I've been putting in a pH powder (dont know the exact name) for the past few days and it's done nothing. Is there a reason for this?
the powder isnt going to help in the long run. it will change every time u do a water change. try some coral

Honestly I would always try to go the natural way with my tanks. Don't waste your money on trying to adjust the pH with chemicals. Do your inhabitants require a higher pH? I haven't had to raise my pH, but will keep the coral in mind.
It should be up at 7.0 for the fish i have, but so far the drop hasn't affected any of them.
Like living coral right?

If the PH is wrong for your fish, probably the GH/KH is wrong. You can add baking soda to increase both GH KH and PH.
You need to add a very little of baking soda to increase the values.
