To piggy back Jerry comment you may be the only person who has a problem with your pH being too low due to your low KH. I will add do not worry to much about it I keep most all my apistos in very low KH and pH water mostly in the 3's and low 4's. I never sweat it. Even borelli and others like Cacs. Just keep the water clean in my experience being the decieding factor.
