Ph for a jardini

[LostFish]

Hey guys what is the Ph range for my Jardini. Right now its at 6 but a month before that it was at 7ish.i am going to colledge now so i don't test everything for the tank, just have my sister check the amonia, nitrate and nitrite. If 6 is too low how do i go about raising the ph slowly

thanks

6 is fine. As long as its stable, don't alter anything.

6 is on the low side but it's still acceptable.

You can add some crush coral to help raise and stabilize the ph. From experience a stable ph of 6 is cutting it fine especially if you experience a ph crash due to feeding, and nitrogen cycle.
What is the ph of your change water ?
I would try to keep ph around the 6.5-7.5 mark if it's not too much of an issue.

Most jardinis are captive bred, doesn't matter what pH it is. As long as the pH is stable the pH can be high or low doesn't matter. I've raised baby silvers, baby jars, and baby blacks in 7.8 pH. All was fine.

What made it come down from 7ish?
You aren't using marine salt in it are you?

 

[LostFish]

no, i am not using marine salt. my water used for water change is around 7ish ph. i have a couple large pieces of driftwood in the thank so that maybe why it slowly went down.

Driftwood has very littlle impact on PH. it's most likely just the nitrogen cycle doing it's thing.
