For last week I was trying to adjust pH in two tanks. I am using RO water so I got KH about 20ppm. I was using Seachem Acid Buffer. I was adding half of recommended dose every evening. I got electronic pH meter so I was able to measure pH levels many times during a day. I am a little bit confused and worried about my fish. Here come results. Just after adding acid pH goes down do 3.5. After two hours it's about 4, next day 4.5 and next evening is back to about 5.5-6. In result in one tank I was able to get from 6.5 to 5.5 in one week. Assuming that I got these swings every day I am not too happy about results. In other tank I cannot get below 6.
What am I doing wrong? Too big dose? Shall I increase KH?
