Last night I came home and the ph was at 6.18 I dropped in some PH down and brought it to 5.52.. This evening I came home to find the ph at 6.01 And again adjusted it back down to 5.58.

submersible pump was the culprit because it was overoxygenating the tank and causing unwanted growth. I could really use some advice if anybody has any. Thanks for reading if you made it this far! Sorry for the crappy pics.
