NordicFishKeeper Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I recently setup a 40 gallon for my 7 Multies. My PH is 7.6 I know Multies will do better in above 8 ph. I am trying to breed them so I have added “Seachem African Cichlid Mix” to the sand and to the HOB filter. I haven’t seen any change in ph after two weeks of adding to substrate and HOB. Anyone have other ideas for buffing my ph? Will Multies breed in a ph of 7.6? Thanks for any help anyone can provide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multis should do fine at 7.6 pH. You could always add a small bag of crushed coral in your HOB and add a little bit of buffer after water changes.

Administrators Zenzo Posted October 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 7, 2021 I just ran downstairs to test a couple of my multi tanks for you. One is around 8.0 pH, the other around 7.8 (between 7.6 and 8.0 on the test strip). Both have hard/high gh and kh because of the aragonite substrate and buffers that I use. I have had them at 7.6 before (before a water change). No issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicFishKeeper Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Thanks Zenzo! Which buffers would you suggest using when doing water changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
