can profito lower your Ph,

[billko]

Hi Folks,
I,m just wondering if profito can have an affect on your Ph,
My tank is always around Ph 6.6, but after testing last night is around 6 - 6.2
I have not done anything different other than starting to use profito as a replacement to plant nutrition a few weeks back.
I dose the profito daily with easycarbo,
Ph from the tap water is 7 - 7.2,
Cheers Billy,,

Easylife do a seperate Nitrate additive - Nitro and Phosphate is fosfo.

Profito contains:
Fe - Iron
K - Potassium
Mg - Magnesium
Mn - Manganese
B - Boron
Li - Lithum
Cu - Copper
I - Iodine
Ni - Nickle
Mo - Molib - something struggling to read my own hand writing, job for tonight.

Mo = Molybdenum

Regards
paul.

I don't believe it's the profito. It was my understanding that plants uptake trace elements quite quickly, therefore they couldn't cause a pH drop because they're not in the water column. Not 100% sure on that one though.
