I've decided to stock 1x dwarf gourami 8x neon tetra 6x celestial pearl danio 6x panda Cory 6x oto

Okay thanks! One last thing, after it's cycled which fish should I add in first?

So I guess I'll just do exactly what I did the first time then :) Would the cycling process be faster this time? I haven't been adding ammonia since I ran out though.

Should I raise it to 6.5 with baking soda just for the cycling process? Once its been cycled again can I leave it at 6?

I put an airstone into a bucket of tap water overnight and it was at 7! I plan to cycle it again since I haven't been adding ammonia since the ph trouble. Now I'm thinking of just keep the ph at 6 and just stocking fish suitable to that level!

Would there be another reason for why my ph is so low?

Yeah sorry about that I forgot to delete msgs xD Do you reckon my ph would still be 6 if I just use eco complete?

Hey just wondering if I should use ADA Aquasoil and Eco Complete together or alone? What do you guys reckon? I have a 35 gallon tank and diameters are 70x41cm

I'm planning to have one dwarf gourami, school of neons, few guppies/swordtails and some bottom dwellers. Would you guys recommend ada 1 or 2?

By single layer do you mean an inch??

Should I get 2 inches of aqua soil and 1 inch of eco complete?

I currently have no fish inside my tank at all. Yeah I'm planning to have a planted tank and all so I guess I'll search around on the net for some cheap ones. How many pounds of each do I need for a 135L tank (35G) tank? My length is 70cm and my width is 41cm. And also thank you to everyone...

Yeah I think I should change the substrate but problem is I don't think my lfs has any eco complete or amazon. Could I order it online?

Yeah I think I'm gona change my substrate. How should I go about doing it? Should I get rid of all my water? Or should I keep the water and take out the substrate some way?

My Ph test of my tank water shows a reading 6 due to my substrate. I'm looking to house community fish such as tetras, livebearers and rasboras. Would it be possible for me to keep them in a ph lvl of 6? Or am I better off changing my substrate to something else? My ph of my tap water is 7 by...

I'm not sure if we are using the same water or not... =[

I just use tap water and I just use a de-chlorinator

That's okay you've been very helpful during my time of need :) I did a little research and apparently my fish prefer a ph of 6.6-7. Should I change my substrate then??

I was thinking of keeping community fish like livebearers, tetras and harlequin rasboras

I tested the water in my bucket and it reads about 6.8-7 ph! I tested the water in my tank again and it reads 6 once again

Alright sweet I'll let you know after 24 hours! Hopefully it's not something complicated cause I'm running out of ammonia so I'm only dosing 1 ppm a day

Any reason why you think my tank water reads 6 while my tap water reads at 6.6 or 6.8?

I tested my water straight from the tap and it reads 6.6 or 6.8 I can't really tell haha. I got an airstone in my tank now as well as a bucket of tap water which I'm going to leave for 24 hours until I test it. Am I going about this the right way or is there something I'm missing?

I'll go get an air stone after I finish work. Should I chuck that into my tank or the water I'm leaving for 24 hours? Sorry for asking so much, kind of new to cycling haha

So should I get 2 of them? Or is one enough? Also should I still be dosing my ammonia to 4 or just 1 because I'm running out of ammonia!
