I have started again on my 200 L tank. I have a new filter (FX4) but retained by old biological media. I am using new tropica soil. I have done 2 * 50% water changes in the last week since it was set up..
It currently only has 6 small corydora on-(refugees from last set up)
I am on London Tap Water.
My KH seems to have dropped down to virtually zero and my GH is 8. My PH seems to have gone down to 6.
Ammonia is zero.
I used the JBL Pro test strips which measure against a card and the phone analyses. I thought perhaps the strips had gone awry, so have purchased some traditional liquid checkers wit same result.
I am injecting CO2, but at quite a low rate. My drop checker is GREEN.
Any clues as to what might be going on?
Only other tank decoration is some fossilized wood rock and a small piece of bogwood.
