Falling Ph

[seanyt66]

Hi all - im having a problem with ph in one of my tanks (60 L) the water out of my tap is ph neutral but once in my tank it falls away, does anyone have a thought on what is happening? the tank contains two plants - ludwigia arcuata(tropica 035) and labelia cardinalis (tropica 053c) also a small piece of bogwood. occupants are six neons two bristlenose and some guppy fry.

thanks in advance

How much is it falling? Bogwood can lower pH.

 

[seanyt66]

from ph 7 to about ph 6 in the space of about a week - do you think the wood could affect it that much?

only one way to find out... take out the bogwood and see if the ph still decreases.
