Stu :) Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'm trying to drag the pH in my plant tank down to 6.5/6.8'ish so I can grow out some baby fish. Everything else is in order: Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0.125 Nitrate = 7'ish KH = 70mg/L Substrate is well washed sand, heater, internal filter, lots of plants, water... Any ideas on bringing up the pH?

Zev Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 What is the PH of your tap water, or whatever the water is that you do the water changes with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 It is not clear wether you wish to bring the pH up or down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu :) Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Sorry... trying to drag the pH down from 8.2 to 6.5/6.8. I'm using tank water and the pH is 8.2. Should I have adjusted the pH before the hardness :oops: Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 All I know is that driftwood lowers your pH, but surely there's a commercially available product that'll lower pH? Peat or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_W Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 seachem Ph 7.0 neutral regulator. adjust high or low ph to 7.0 removes chlorine, chloramine and ammonia. You can have mine, pick up from birkenhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
