Hello!
Well I have a 55 tank, heavily planted, driftwood, sand/eco-complete substrate, Jungle Labs CO2 Fizz factory, and 2 Emperor 400 filters. I have 4 Otos, 6 tetra neon and there will be 6 pencilfish, 6 dwarf cories, 1 pair of blue rams and 1 pair of checkerboard cyclids in a few days. Also I'm planing on adding some Apistos. According to readings and this forum info, the pH should be around 6.5 if I want to breed my fish in the community tank and as well for good health ( I know these fish can withstand higher pH levels, but may not breed). The pH in my tank is 7.6, no ammonia or nitrates, soft water.
I use the Wardley 3 in 1, 6.5 pH conditioner but didn't do anything!
So I was wondering what else can I use to lower the pH? Any other buffers that you guys use? Should I use pH down?
Thanks.
