Water Test Readings

[Lord Fishheart]

Just tested my water and got the following results:

P.H - 6.4
Ammonia 0.0
Nitrite 0.0
Nitrate 0.0

Very concerned about my PH how on earth do I raise it?

Tank is fully cycled

Are you shure the test kit is working? In a cycled tank, a zero reading for nitrate is vertualy impossible... I'd get the readings double checked at the LFS, as I'm sceptical that they are right

Apologies Nitrate is 5.0!

What is the pH of your tap?

What is your KH reading?

How long since your last waterchange?

Do you filter throug peat or something similar to lower your pH?

Crushed coral in your filter will raise your pH safely over time.
