KH and PH problem

[KyleStone]

Hi I got my self a big problem, does any one know how I can raise my KH level but at the same time lower my PH levels ???? Because the KH is 2dKH but the PH is always high at 7.5 and I wish to get the KH atlest 5 or 6dKH and the PH at 6.5. What I realy cannot understand is since my KH is low how can my PH be so HIGH ?

Don't bother messing with your ph. That range is fine for any fish.

KH can be raised with baking soda, crushed coral, etc.

I am wored because of my black arowana. The black arowana need very low PH levels even 6.0 can be good for it but 6.5 would be fine for the other fish I have. And why do I have a high level of PH if the KH is so low?

Fish will adapt to any ph range. I have wild discus in a ph of mid to high 7s, they could care less. Ph is tied to your kh and gh, it's not a stand alone number. Kh is your buffering capacity, gh is your general hardness. KH and GH are more important than ph. Have you tested your gh?

Yes the gh is 19 the kh is 2 and ph is 7.5
