2Nd Tank.

[Rickzayne]

I have a tank set up and doing well.

I bought a bigger tank for them to move to, but for some reason the PH level is below 6 in the new tank...(normally 7.6 in the smaller one)

I have play sand in the new tank and live plants.. any suggestions on how to raise the PH level before I move the fish on over?

thanks.

Just leave it a day & test again. If it is still low you may have to empty it & give it a major clean.

#41#### sand!

It wont be the sand. Play sand is inert, has to be by law.

well Im confused now xD

In my tank there is play sand from B&Q
10 plants from a fish shop
a tree thing from a fish shop( could be this -.- but I soaked it for over 24 hours and pouring boiled water over it as I cant fit it in a pan.)
and an aquarium ornament
