I have my 2 ft tanks setup with my 4 zebra Plec's in it.
The temp is 31 and the TDS is 130.
My problem is tht the PH is 7.9-8.
I am using RO water mixed with normal tap water at around 85%/15%
How can i reduce my PH
I am using an external eheim filter and powerhead inside.

Re: Reducing PH level

Re: Reducing PH level
After a bit more research i have found SEACHEM NEUTRAL REGULATOR and also some peat balls, these are both said to lower ph to 7 or lower.
Also have been told that having my powerhead with the venturi on wont help as it may increase the ph.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed.

Re: Reducing PH level
Have you done a proper test of your tap pH? That is fill a glass, add an airstone for a couple of hours to bubble, then test it. Also what are the KH levels?
