I was using the strips and was thinking they were wrong but I got a master liquid kit and tested everything I was very carefull to follow instrusctions.
My ph is low 6.0/6.2 and has been for a while but I couldn't get it to rise so I thought my strips were wrong but it's not
My high range ph is also low
Ammonia was good was the lowest on the chart
Nitrate was between the to lowest and the nitrate was way high dark red
Could the issue I have be linked back to my low ph. If so how to fix.
My fish look healthier than ever there active and eating well they all look to be on the edge of death before I did a water change and filter content change and I had a algie problem but some autos fixed that
I do 25% water change every month and routine content changes.
I have 4 small koi 4 small goldfish 8 tiny tiny ottos and two moss balls(because of my extreme algie problem but my tank is crystal clear now)
125 gallon tank and filstar 3 175 gal filter
What y'all think?
