I did a water test and my nitrate level is less than 10. There is no nitrite or ammonia, so the water is perfect and I do around 50% water changes every 2-3 days. There's also good filteration and high aeration and heater set at 30C.
But to my shock, the PH/KH are very low and they probably were for awhile because I did not test PH/KH for months as I don't buffer or try to make any changes to it. KH is less than 3d and the PH less than 6.4. I did a test to the tap water and the results are very much the same. Does this low (but stable) level of PH/KH could have a side affect on the fish? I notice that my fish usually show stress (very low energy) even though I feed a healthy mixed diet [different pellets, bloodworms, spinach, etc...] also as I mentioned earlier water is great and temperature at 30c which means fish should be more active than this. Could the PH/KH have something to do with this? |

Thanks guys !
![]() I learned something new today ! Last night, I used AP fresh water master test kit to test my 90 gallons fish tank, the PH result came out 6.0 ! I used BS buffer up to 7.0 for temporay. I think I will try to coral or oyster shell later. Cp, you have amazing setup for your fish tank ! ![]() This website is great, I always learn something new from you guys. Thanks again ! |
