So I checked my ph last week and it was a 7.4 and I checked again with my API PH test kit and it showed my PH has dropped to a whopping 6.2 PH. What could be causing this? I have a newly added Aqueon Quietflow 50-70 filter as well as my well cycled Fluval 406 Canister filter with an airstone and a bubble wall. We do water changes every Sunday and we have live plants in the tank such as Java Fern, Amazon swords, and Anubias and a big piece of Moopani wood. We are going to change out the gravel for sand now thinking that maybe the gravel is causing such a huge Ph drop.
