Hi all!
I am running an aquarium for the last 2 months and I am getting very frustrated with the substrate.. I am using tropica Aquasoil and it seems that it strips all the KH from the water and the PH is getting very low ( 6.2 - 6.8) depends if CO2 is open.
The first month I was doing lots of water changes with just RO water (+ adding minerals Aquadur JBL) and I am still using RO water with the difference the last 2 times I mixed it with some tap water (70% RO / 30% Tap) to achieve 7.2 PH, 2 KH , 3 GH but still the PH is very low and the KH is nearly 0.
How I will manage to control the KH and PH?
