Hi guys, I could do with a little help on this one if possible.
I have a small (3 UK gallons) tank with just a WCM minnow a Glowlight Tetra and a Harlequin in it, and until recently all has been well. However I have noticed in the last 2 weeks that the pH drops quite a lot over the course of a week. Usually pH is 7.4 (using normal tap water), but last week it dropped down to 6.2. I had to 2 x 90% changes in 2 days to restore it back to 7.4
I don't have any problems with Ammonia (usually 0) or Nitrite (usually 0 or negligable), so I'm at a loss as to what is causing the problem. I only have 1 small plant in there, which I trim before it gets out of control.
I would appreciate any advice I can get, thanks.
