Starting to Panic: PH 6.4, KH 7 GH 13. I just cant get PH to go up. What do I do??
Please help. I do not know what else to do. My snails are currently in a critter keeper because I had to break down my entire tank and its currently cycling. I just cannot get a good ph lvl. I have crushed oystershell and wondershell in their tank. In my cycling tank I have a huge bag of oystershell sitting under the sponge filter and a bunch of it in the substrate. Both tank and critter keeper are reading 6.4-6.6.
What do I do?? My blue snails shell literally looks like its peeling, I am so distraught. I ordered crushed coral today, some people say it works better (while other people say oyster shell is better??)
Ive had these snails for about 3 weeks. The shells weren't perfect when I got them.
Do I go buy high PH water?? My tap water has lower PH, but what brand of water do I buy so its safe?
Should I go the baking soda route? I heard its not safe due to PH spikes.
Please advise!! I'm feeding snello with calcium added and zucchini with calcium sprinkled on top.
