Hi All
I have a Fluval Ebi tank.
Typical setup with their Stratum substrate.
The tank is planted and has a root driftwood
My issue is that the Ph keeps dropping to 6 over a period of a week when its starting out with my Ph 7 tapwater.
I have recently placed a fist size lava rock and tested it the next day and Ph went from 6.8 to 6.4 over a couple of days.
I was hoping the rock would stabilize.
Amonia Nitrites and Nitrates all zero.
I use the standard internal filer that comes with the setup but have mini biomax in the large chamber.
Tankmates include 7 cherry shrimp and 4 Galaxy Rasboras, 3 Badis, and now 4 neon fry added yesterday.
I did start with a dozen cherry and some have passed over the last month or so.
Usual's go into the tank like Prime and Stability and monthly Equilibrium.
Does anyone think the Stratum is the dropping Ph culprit?
