I set up my 10 gallon again and I am having to recycle it. I had the filter running in a 29 gallon cycled tank but when I switched it back to the 10 gallon the tank didn't stay cycled. I am now having to do a fishless cycle. Right now I am going through the Nitrite phase. My Ph has crashed big time. I did two pwc and no help. I added crushed clam shells, waited a few hours and checked ph. It didn't raise. I picked up some limestone gravel and added a handful to tank and some to filter waited a few hours and got only a little rise in PH. I gave up and added a little baking soda and got the PH up to 7.4. I cannot find coral anywhere within 35 miles of me. Any ideas why I cannot get the PH to stay up? Tank has Ludwigia and money wort in it. Hoping to get it cycled quick to put some molly fry in.
