How to reduce water PH?

Tawinder · 26-04-2015, 04:01 PM

Hi Bros,

Just a quick one... my current PH is 7.6 which is not healthy for my aro.... Just wondering if there is anything i can do to reduce besides using chemical?
Its a new tank. Size 4x2x2ft. Top filter with filter media. i have driftwood and stones as deco.

Peat moss could be used to reduce ph levels

ts, is your aro feeding or what?

have you cycle the 422 or what?

honest, if there is nothing out of the unusual, the aro will be doing fine with the ph thing.

bro, just make sure you use a reputable water conditioner for the wc

can you download a clip on your aro?

Thanks for the replies guys. Well u read that the recommended PH for aro is between 6.8 to 7.1. Is it true? Will be posting the video shortly as requested. And yes it is feeding but wen it was in a 2ft tank, its appetite was greater. Used to wallop bout 6 to 8 crickets. Now only 4

Don't panic or do anything drastic. it's normal for new tank and the ph will eventually go down when your filter is fully cycled.

bro,, just monitor the situation and don't fret on it.

overly medicated the aro is also not too good.
