Hi all...
REALLY low ph reading in my (almost cycled) 29 gallon (couldn't read it on the test it was so low). Not as bad in the 10. My tapwater has a ph of 6.2 so i'm adding crushed coral to my tanks. Put 1/2 cup in the 29 (in mesh bag) at 2:30 today .... ph has risen by .2 since. Removed filter media and rinsed, was really dirty... wondering if that contributes to ph crash???
I'm wondering .... should I leave the bag in the tank overnite, or remove it for the nite and see what happens by morning? I'm worried about raising the ph too much too fast.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
