 | Low PH in clown tank problem? |
ClownyGirl  Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004   |  Edited by clownygirlPH: 4.5 NO2: <0.1 (0.1 is lowest reading on chart) Ammonia: <0.1 (0.1 is lowest reading on chart) My clown loaches still have torn fins, though the fins have gotten better with some Methyl Blue I added, and they have black blotches on the skin. I got an antibiotic - Rid All general purpose for the clowns hoping that they would get better. Is my low PH reading a problem? This specific Rid All medicine contains Neutralised Flavine BPC. |

Since pH is a logarithmic scale, a pH of 5 is 100 times more acidic than pH 7, and 4 is 1000. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian. |
