Default shrimp tank problems, need URGENT help !!

My shrimp tank is at ph 8. its too high. I tried removing filter medias, bee balls and minerocks. The ph is still return back at 8 even when I use PH down. I want to know where I could buy borneowild HUMIC. It says that it can buffer the ph to 6~6.5.

I guess you need active soil to bring the ph down to stable 6ish.

Any pH adjustment product will not be a long term solution. The best way is to redo ur tank and replace old soil with active ones such as ada amazonia, advanced soil,..

we need to know what you have in your tank.

-example age, media, rocks etc.

-the age of the tank since setup

-what you used to measure your water parameter, if using meter, did you calibrate your meter?

How long is your tank setup? Soil age? Rocks in tank? Need more info to see what is causing the problem.
