shrimpfreak Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I am using the API test kit and I had no idea what my PH was. I have Ada aqua soil that is about a year and a half old. I didn't know if my PH was high or low so I did both tests. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlantDude Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ninja edit, just saw both tests. Now I'm wondering too. shrimpfreak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 wouldnt it be 6.0 - 6.4 My understanding of the high ph test kit is that if it is lower than 7.4 it will show as 7.4 and on the low ph side if its higher than 7.6 it will show up as 7.6 I could be wrong sarah, shrimpfreak and Mr. F 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpfreak Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ok thanks. So neocardina wouldn't do well in this tank? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeshrimp Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Probably not. But there are ways to deplete the buffering capabilities of the substrate. I can't remember what ot was but it was on this forum not too long ago. shrimpfreak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 The neos like it closer to 7+ but you could do crystals or mischlings or TBs in there.. if its accurate. shrimpfreak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpfreak Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Ok thanks everyone for the help! I am looking to get back into neocardina so I will just change the substrate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
