Low Ph

[12galedge82]

I have a 12 gal fowlr w a huma huma and a Niger triggerfish. All is going really well. I just can't seem to get my ph over 7.8 - 8.0. There has to be a limit to how much buffer u put in right? I'm starting to think that is just where I will keep it at. Any suggestions?

You are kidding? Right?

Your problem isn't the PH. it's the fish in your tank!

Those fish need a MUCH bigger tank or they will die from stress!!

As far as PH, after you restock with nano fish of course, check your KH. Also, if you dose calcium- you can't dose PH the same day or they cancel each other out.

+1 - That Niger will need a 180 (LA). http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+44+257&pcatid=257
