my PH keeps changing. it was 7.6 and it changed after two days to 6.0.. Whats going on?
 
nothing i tested 2 days before it was 7.6 and now i tested it again and its 6.0. My tap water is 7.2.
 
Got plenty of surface agitation? High co2 levels could cause the pH to drop, but I'd expect some fish loss if it's high enough to drop it that low.
 
Let the tap water sit in a glass over night and "gas out" then test. I had the same issue out of the tap my PH was 7.6 but in the tank 6.6, after leaving the tap water sit out overnight it tested 6.6-6.7
 
yea but i have another tank thats a 5 gallon but its PH is 7.2 how does my other tank get to 6.0?
 
i have a betta in my 5 gallon. in my 14 gallon i have about 10 neons and 10 dainos. I have the bubble wand on tho.
