I need help guys

I'm curious to know what the kH of the tank is too. Very low kH can cause a pH crash, and it could take quite a while to show up. Do you have trouble washing soap out of your hair. If so, it might be soft thus leading to the pH crash.

I have no clue on KH reading.I'll get it though-

I have no problem washing the soap out of my hair though.....

P.S. how long has the tank been set up?

Going on two years now-
How long would it take for the ph to drop if my KH was low.I certainly would have though I would have had this problem long before this...

Bump for some answers

Thats extremely odd. Your LFS should be able to test your water hardness. mine does. Otherwise I am clueless

clueless here. Sorry buddy, hope things work out.

With a low kH level under 4 degrees or 70 ppm, depending on how measured, your water is very unstable and you can have wide pH swings. Did you notice your pH dropping gradually?

Get a test kit for KH and GH. I wouldn't trust the LFS to do the job. If your KH is found to be very low, you can adjust it by using baking soda, or add limestones, marble chips, crushed corals or crushed oyster shells.
