Low PH in QT

F

Frogspawn

I'm doing hypo' treatment and have been for six weeks now. First time with this. PH is hard to keep in line.

How big is the PH priority for health in hypo QT?
and,

I'm using a buffer and water changes to bring it back up. Should I ease the PH back up or just get it right immediately?


Thanks
 
Yes, very low. I just got it back up to 7.8 with buffer. I think I'll let it there until tomorrow and then bring it up some more.

Would a very low PH cause visible anomalies? Behaviour patterns have seemed to be normal. Hippo had white spots on the head that I thought may have been a return of ich, but I've decided that is not what it was.

So I guess when I mix up low salinity water I need to add a buffer to help the PH from the beginning.

Thanks for the quick reply.
 
I had the same problem. After about the first week I found it easier to just check the PH twice a day and buff it up as needed. My major problem turned out to be my amonia spikes.
