low ph

[caseyc02]

any tips on raising the pH in my tank?

What I do is put some cc in a bag and float it in the tank, it helps buffer it. Don't add chemicals, they only cause huge ph and alkalinity swings. Good luck.

i don't have an alk and calcium test... but everything else is 0 amm trates and trites i just noticed my rock was changing a funny color, did a test and low pH

just raising ph will effect other factors also how long after your lights are one are you testing your water?

Check Calc, Carbonate/Alk, and Magnesium. It's probably one of those are low causing the low pH. Get it tested at an LFS if you don't have your own kits, but I think its worthing getting the kits for your own uses.

What sized tank is this and how much water flow do you have? How long has it been set up?

My 2 cents...
Of all the questions your being asked and of all the recommendations your being given. Start with the basics.
Answer Sep's question first.
