So I been having trouble with my Ph staying around 7ish. I have had a driftwood in it for quite some time now. Could this had been the reason? The driftwood has sunk to the bottom since 8 months ago. But with 60 pd of crush coral sand, 20 pd of crush coral, 20 pds of cichlids sand in the filter, 50 pds of white rocks and 30 pds of holey rocks Ph is still low.

Just want it ideal for the cichlids. They are doing fine.

Have you tested your tap water? I have a peice of driftwood in mine and it the ph doesnt move from 8.2, but my tap water is 8.0. I run all my tanks at 8 and not a single fish has died because of it.
 
My tap water is 7ph, but shouldn't my coral n sand raise the ph

Yea it should raise it a bit. If your fish are happy then why stress about it?
