Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello Group,
My home tank is a 50 gallons. Its ph is around 6, maybe lower. Not good. Explains why my mollies and other live bearer's went to sleep at Davie Jone's locker.
I have the strips and the api chem test set which both tell me that ph is real low. I use my tap water to which i add a dechlorinator. I have tested the water coming out of the tap and it is low to begin with.....drats!
I have read on the web to use coral or peat or slowly introduce bicarb soda.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
