Hello Guys,

Need your help on ph lvls.
I've got 3 tanks currently, 2x 3'x1.5'x1.5' and 6'x2'x2.5'.
3' tank - Golden Arowana and Royal Pleco - Tank Reading PH 7.8 Amo 0
3' tank - 3x 6-8"Tigrinus(Temp) and 4" Kelbiri PB - Tank reading PH 6.6 Amo 0
6' tank - 4x Dats 10"-13", 13"Motororay and 6"royal Pleco - Tank reading PH 7.7 Amo 0

Are they in the right state of PH? Are my fish comfortable? my Dats have cloudy eys in a mile stage. Motoro Isnt swiming around.

Do appreciate for all comments! thanks.
 
Why are your tanks PH all different? Unless I add something to alter it, all of my tanks are the same ph.

Do you have driftwood or limestone/holey rock in any of your tanks?

The royal pleco tank seems a tad high. They are typically prefered at 6.5-7.5.

As for the ray tank.. I keep mine (dats and motoros) at 7.4 and I have no issues.

i not sure y they are all different, only for the 3' tig tank has drift wood and some pebbles in it. the rest are just fishes. how do i lower down the PH lvl?
Is it because i put too much coral chips? i have 2 bags of coral chip in the sump of my 6'.
Surprisingly my 3' aro and pleco tank, doesn't have a coral chips in it. and PH lvl is high.
 
Coral Chips will make the PH higher.

Lower it?? Use driftwood.

Drift wood wont be a good idea, cause my 6' tank is just 2' width and having a ray inside it. so does it help to tank out the other bag of coral chip? both of them are quite big!
 
I would take out the other bag yes.

Thanks bro! i really appreciate that you help advice me! oh yea how bout the 3' tank? i dont even have coral chip inside. and i dont wanna put any drift wood to avoid hurting the 6" arowana.
 
Well, without driftwood in that tank, the royal won't live too much longer, as royals eat driftwood..

The aro is a top dweller.. driftwood shouldn't be an issue.
