the water in my tanks pH is very low, around 4.3 these days.
I have tried bringing it up slowly with baking soda, but it never seems to change, it just sits at 4.3, although it isnt dropping anymore. My tap water is pH of 6.3-6.5
What could be causing this? My CO2 isnt on anymore, i have two pieces of driftwood (one mounted to tile when purchased, which the other is just waterlogged and sunk to the bottom) , 1 carved rock and a good amt of plants.
Would you recommend starting over? if i did, what could i do to avoid this? Also how would i re-acclimate the fish back to the tank without killing them? i have around 20-30 fish, some as long as 5 inches.
TIA
