Used a mix of Green and Red and using a PH Pen have a PH of around 5.8.

Does that help

hmm.. seems like the pH is rather low..

Well, that was what I thought also and I am thinking of whether to bring it up using slight alkaline filter material or just add some corals into the filter.

I am having CRS. Some forumers seems to think it is still ok.

Anyway that is what I got.

For another tank 1ft, I got around 6.2 by using Green packet GeX.

I do not think the red or green makes a difference to the PH though.

i guess its the initial week that pull down pH to 5 - 6. after that it should hover around 6 - 6.5
