How to Raise PH level?
- Thread starter Calc
- Start date
my tanks are fully planted with easy growing low light plants , they use up the nitrate and phos, and keep the tank water great . without many plants you do indeed have to do more changes than i do , also i feed very carfully useally frozen foods ,there is little waste ,and i genrally run enough filteration to filter the tank twice over and each tank has only 1 pair or a small group of channa in each ,
before i went with live plants i did indeed have to do more frequent changes though as nitrate level would get very high if left for too long .

Ah, this thread is reassuring me some. Been worrying my Ph is too low as it sits round 6-6.5 in my Mirco's tank. My other fish tanks all around 7.
Have noticed the Ph lowers very quicky in the micro tank,but thinking thats cause its smaller compared to the other tank.

yep i would not worry about the ph at 6 at all , you are right ph will drop quicker if you have a smaller tank with something like a micro in it ,as the waste it produces in turns brings the ph down.
