Besides doing water changes is there a way I can lower the pH?
I have a purple tang and an eel currently in week three of hypo. Yesterday I set up what I thought was a very slow drip of distilled water with Sodium carbonate in it. I obviously put in to much Sodium cabonate and the drip was too fast as today when I came home from work the pH was about 8.49(pin point meter). My RO unit is messed up and spitting out water with over 110 TDS and I have no distilled water left.
The purple tang has shown no ill effects and is still swimming around happily eating like always, but the eel seems to be a bit lazier then normal. Hard to tell though since during the day all he usually does is chill in his PVC home. I may just be looking to hard at things.
Thanks,
JG
