PH too Low! and I need help.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
FYI, even Seachem would tell you to not use Neutral Regulator in a planted tank; for planted tanks, they recommend you use Acid Buffer (lower ph) and Alkaline Buffer (raise ph) . . .

these work well IME, and you can use them in conjunction to hit a targeted ph . . . you can also use Seachem Equilibrium to raise your GH, which should help stabilize your ph levels
 
KH is basically the alkaline buffering capacity of your aquarium (there also is an opposite acid buffering process), a KH above 50 ppm helps prevent sudden drops in pH. KH (carbonate hardness) is an important source of energy for nitrifying bacteria that eliminate ammonia and nitrite. In addition, carbonates are used by plants for photosynthesis when carbon dioxide (CO2) is absent.
