On Sunday I broke out the master test kit and spent about an hour testing the water in all our tanks (shaking the Nitrate vile for 5 different tanks got SO tiring). Anyways, I noticed that the pH is different in every tank. I can understand the 150 because we use crushed coral. Here's the numbers:
10 gal = 6.0
QT = 7.6
29 gal = 7.4
5 gal = 7.2
They were distinctly different in colors. I tested the pH in all of the tanks and put them side by side and they are all different. What is causing this?
We don't use any chemicals except for dechlor and it doesn't alter the pH. The 10 gal REALLY shocks me to be that low. None of the tanks have driftwood or any rocks except for ones that are fake (ceramic or plastic) except for gravel in the 10 and 5.
