Hi guys,
Been a while since i last posted. Lately, I've been getting extremely soft water from my tap. kh around 2, not measured gh. With presurized co2 my ph tends to drop to 5.90 by afternoon. Will this be a cause of concern for some of my inhabitants, mainly RCS?. If so should i make any attempt to increase it. drop checker is slighlty towards dark green

You can use baking soda to raise pH.

a buffer is always better than a quick fix solution.
