That is quite low. What is it out of the tap (the KH)? Between 7-9 as well?

Quick update.
Ph is rising 7.6 right now.
Seems to be going through ammonia quicker now. It's at 0.50 ppm this evening after a dose this morning. Nitrites are at 2-5ppm right now.
It's been a total of 30 days now. Really getting impatient it had looked like it was done or almost done when I had left for vacation.

Just checked my tank today. Params are.
Ammonia :0
Nitrite : 1ppm
Nitrates : 80ppm
Ph: not even on the chart.
The ph is dropping over night. Any reason?
I'm doing a water change now.

Just an update today.
Ammonia:0 nitrites:5+ ph not reading. KH like one drop so...1.
I am doing water changes every day around 20% and then dosing the ammonia. I can't keep up with the ph drops what is happening?
For relevancy, my tap ph is 9+ out of the faucet. And the KH is somewhere between 5-8.

I use Ro/DI water and add minerals that are needed. But I also have a bit of crushed coral in my filter and it really works to stabilize the PH. Problem is it is sold in 10lb bags so you will have enough to last a lifetime. Lol
