Hello everyone, pioneer of this forum
So i have some problems with pH in my aquarium.. The tank is 200l, i use ADA amazonia soil substrate, there is a big driftwood(which i thought should lower the pH) plus there are some rocks, but i am not sure what those are(not limestone for sure).
dKH of my tank is 4.1, nitrates is around 25, i also use RO water mixed with some tap sometimes. Now when i write this post i'm thinking maybe it is because of dKH, though i think it is pretty normal.
My pH sits stable around 7.77, i used to use co2, but i stopped, because i think i am wasting it with such drastical changes(i want to have pH around 6.4-6.6 stable)..
I can add a photo of my tank if anyone is interested
