Hello Penny I like your video I was wondering where did you get the liquid
ph tester kit in this video ?
@817ricky82 true, and I said you can buy a meter in the vid. Also that I

@scott98390 Thanks for the tip. I dont have pH issues in that tank, but I
do in another with nutes in it… I wonder if it would be ok to add that to
a reservoir with store bought nutes? I would stop adding my calcium
supplement ofcourse…

A few clean eggshells (microwaved for a couple of minutes to kill any
nasties) in a mesh bag somewhere in your system will help to control Ph and
add calcium for your plants.

because the ph is low just add a couple of handfulls of shell grit and that
should stablize the ph
