[snazy]

Look at my tanks mate in my bio proof enough me thinks

I have a Rio 350L filtered by 2 EX1200 (no aps balls) ph 6.6

APS 250L tank 2 lots of APS bio balls ph 6.6

shrimp tanks and fry tanks are the same 6.4 ish

Follow up from the other thread:
(Are you sure the Tooth fairy isn't messing up with your stats )

I will send APS support an e-mail to see what they say on that.

Well, the reply was quick. Here is what I got in regards to the Bio balls changing the Ph:

Hi,

Thank you for your message. If you do not wish to use the bio balls in your unit, they can be omitted easily, and you can replace it with whatever else you'd like in order to keep your water levels at the standard your livestock needs. Our units are provided with these three standard filter media types as it is suitable for most set-ups, however in some cases this will need to be adjusted for individual needs.

Kind regards,
James

lol side step from them if you ask me, they have no idea how a plastic ball could do it

Yep... one almighty side step if you ask me.

I wonder how the plastic trays and filter affect the ph also...

 

[snazy]

Yep, a lot of words saying absolutely nothing and not answering the question.
I am going back with a closed question that needs a yes or no answer.

Very badly, judging by the amount of microorganisms they came with. I have enough for a big breakfast

 

[minnnt]

Could be anything... Wood or substrate i would guess?

Could that anything be beating the crap out of the plastic balls in a Ph fight?

Not really much of a claim then is it as alot of tanks have substrate and wood in the tank...

Maybe it should say "keeps your water at neutral if you don't have anything else in there other than water"

Well, if you are not sure what has dropped the Ph in one of your tanks(presuming it's been the same since the setup of this tank), then you don't really have enough information to judge whether the APS plastic balls do anything.
How long has this tank been setup for?

How would you explain my tank with and without balls? and 5 tanks at that

Then again, how long have they been setup for?

Edit: Have transferred old Bio balls media from one tank to the other, or you set brand new staff in all?
