Hi all, I have setup a new 10gal tank for bee shrimp I have added almost a full 9L bag, to around 8 cm thick substrate. With the addition of old sea mud and bacter 100 as first layer, filled with 3cm aquasoil and some more bacter 100 and filled to desired level with aquasoil. Our tap water has a Ph of 8 and KH of 4 I have done 3 90% w/c in the last 3 days using tap water and adding prime for chloramines. The tanks p/m is at 0 KH and 7 PH. isn't the PH supposed to be less? The tank is running on a canister of 400L/h and airstone for oxygen for the filter bacteria at 24 Celcius. I have also setup a small tub as a experiment with tap water and aqua soil, around half/half and the PH of this is at 6.2/6.4 I will run the cycle for 4 weeks and change over to SS GH+ and RO/DI water So the question I have, is the PH staying at 7 due to the tap water PH of 8? And, when completing the cycle and changing to RO with PH 7, will it drop lower then to say PH 6.5 or whatever? any advise or recomedation would be great Picture of the tank
