HIGH PH level

[insider]

Hi guys, been having problem with my tank as the water's PH level is quite high now and i been having quite alot of casuality recently. Any bro got any suggestion on lowering the PH?

Peat moss is good. what type of substrate you using? usually gex or ada will have ph reducing abilities.

currently i am using ada soil. I have another tank using the same soil but have not met with the same problem. Now the tank's PH is around 5.

Sorry for the confusion my high PH = high acidity.

no wonder i find it so weird, use ADA pH level still high. try to add some coral chips.

yes, add coral chips will help.
but them in a fine netting so you can easily scoop out if PH raise to desirable level.
for me, I initially put 2 bags, PH goes from 6.2 slowly to 6.8/6.9, then I took out 1 bag, now PH is about 6.6/6.7

Will this happen even after water change ??? Or will happen after a period after water change....???

Best is either coral chip or peat....

coral chip will be a long time prevention

how old is the setup? normally with ADA Aquasoil the pH very low during initial setup bit after say 3 weeks it should be around 6.2
