You can always use ph adjusters, baking soda, calcium carbonate sources, blackwater extracts etc to get the ph anywhere you want it, but I sincerely doubt if a major internal bacterium attack is over by now, these things usually run for, and need to be treated for at least a week, maybe two.

When did you last do a full deep gravel vac or is it the substrate you are using or is it just dirty.

I use PH adjuster at every water change. I also would add a good dose of bacteria to the tank do this at every water change this will help to keep a good bacteria in its origional state, I always use Sera Nitrivec.

Be carefull with any meds for CLs as some meds must be used at half strength.
I would also have a try at Primafix and Melafix these can be use together (read instructions first for correct dosage)

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info
