Low PH

That pH isn't an emergency, and may not be a problem at all. What is your bioload? What time of the day did you measure the pH? What kind of water do you use to top-off? What is your pH usually? Has anything died, or disappeared, lately? How often, and how much, do you change water? These are the typical causes of lowered pH, although you haven't convinced me that it is really low at this point. Repeat the measurement several times during the day.

I wouldn't even consider that to be low. As long as it doesn't swing too much I wouldn't worry about it at all.

its not being low that is the worry, its stability.
your ph will fluctuate normally with your lights going on/off.

Nope, agreeance is not a new word. 'Whether you agree or not, the North American editor of the Oxford English Dictionary says Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst's use of the word "agreeance" was correct at the Grammys last month.' from nbc4.tv
