The PH in the water in my home town is as low as 7.4. Dont know what is happenig here in P.R. water. Due to this the water my DI is also that low. In order to do my water change I had to add an exagarated amount of buffer to obtain a PH of 8.3 on the water that is being used for the water change. I had to put 1 teaspoon for 30 gal. and in orderto obtain a ph of 8.0 in 15 gal I put 6 tablespoons and it wasnt almost at 8.0 .Tis is my question.Can this affect my corals and fish.one of my corals looks kind of sad and I lost a shrimp.I have a 72 gal. tank and did a 15 gal water change with all that buffer. The ph in my tank is 8.2 amonia 0 nitrite 0 alk.nitrate 0 high
