Maybe a canister or a submerged powerhead type filter.
My water is naturally in around 7.8-8.0... I checked my NPT tank for the first time a few days ago. It's a around 6.0. All the organics and plants will bring it down. I'm trying to bring it up with lime stones and shells( Going to raise some fancy snails ).
You can mix in RO/distilled water to bring the ph/hardness down. |
My tap water is at 7.8 and I have yet to see a drop in both the hardness and pH. How long as your tank been set up for? Do you know what your GH and KH are from the tap?
