I added Flourite and some type rocks that i don't know what they are. since then my P.H. has been dropping. Im now down to 5.8. can rocks cause this fast a drop in 4 days? my only rock test before adding was to make sure they where really hard not soft or flake easily.
I have also lost some fish 5 plus "purple neons"died and 3-4 splash tetras jumped tank. one dwarf gourami has been laying on substrate since the change over but not dead.
kinda confused as to whats going on. had to stop co2 injection to keep p.h. from going to low. drop checker is blue.
K.H. 3
G.H 15+
im starting to add baking soda to raise my P.H.? and increasing excel dose to help with carbon until my co2 is back on. is this going to work? Flourite is supposed to not affect P.H. correct? can rocks do this much ? below is a picture of rocks maybe someone will recognize? Is their a better way to raise p.h.?
