Interesting, it should not happen since you are using ADA soil unless it is not a new soil

Do you have rocks of any sort in the tank? As for Biohome, I have no idea if it affects pH.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
oasis, would you see your home as start of water distribution system from waterwork or end of it; or near to it?
biohome since you suspect it.
do large water change and see if pH go up again.
Based on my understanding both media should not be contributing much changes to the water ph level. I still suspect your soil not able to buffer the ph down. I will strongly recommend you to reset your tank.
By the way, if you wish to dispose your soil, I will like to have it for some experiment. Hehe..
Just read from another forum that there are cases of people using substrat pro that cause the ph went above 7. Not much details was shared. Just for your reference.
Hi bro darrentyl, I manage to dig up a thread by a fellow forumer ecalyte also faced this issue previously but do not know the outcome as it was not updated after that. I have tested the biohome plus media with a separate cup of the water and seems like doesn't change in ph . Ph is 7.5 same as tap.
How was does the Ph change when put soil and water? Is it instant or need to wait for 24hr?
Hi Bro Shadow, did 80% water change and waited for 24hr later and measure Ph still 7.5
I even open my canister, make sure no stone or debris. Change the wool of the canister , Ph still 7.5
I'm thinking of change the media to powerhouse as I read that it's has lower ph function and for softwater.
Any review or advice on this move?
My only suspect at the moment is actually not the soil. It's too much water change. Perhaps there is not enough time for the ph to buffer down.
