Have you tried anything to buffer the pH so far?
- adding baking soda or
- adding coral chips/sea shells to your canister filter

hi would like to know also how to increase PH level the safe way thanks. Is adding coral skeleton and sea shell the best way? Can i get it easily in LFS ?
Most LFS will sell coral chips, and yes it is a safe way to increase pH levels in your tank, what pH are your trying to maintain?
Thanks Fuzzy
just want to share, added coral skeletons and active carbon into my Atman CF-600 and it had two tray so one for each tray .Before adding the coral skeleton and active carbon my ph is 5.0, now its 6.8 it work
