Time to revist this original problem. pH is still low - fluctuating around 5.5 - 6.5 and I just don't understand why it keeps dropping. I'll try and be as comprehensive as possible in summarising the situation. 1) pH of the tap water is 7 2) I'm doing 25% water changes twice a week and...

Now I'm confused. By "CO2" are you refering to carbon dioxide? How do I disconnect my CO2? As I mentioned in an earlier posting, I don't have one of those air bubble machines. And yes.... I especially noticed this morning that the tetras (at the bottom of the tank) are 'panting' like they've...

I have only 10 fish, 4 plants, some gravel and a rather tacky 'Triton' that my daughter liked in my LFS. It's a Jewel 70 litre (15gallon) tank. I don't add CO2 and don't have an air bubble machine (or whatever it's called). Is there anywhere that gives precise instructions on doing water...

This question has probably been asked before but I can't find it. I've had the tank for 6 months have been losing fish over the last 2 months. My LFS tested my water and all was fine except a pH level of around 5 ! They sold me some stuff to raise the pH level but I cannot maintain a neutral pH...
