i used to have the same problem... now i hv coral chips added to increase the KH level.. helps to make PH stable abit.. u may wan to take note of ur tank size and not to overcrowd too many of them or overload with driftwood, plants etc, because they take up spaces in your tank. even though ur tank looks big, the volume of water is lower due to the space taken by the object.. can spike ammonia or nitrate concentration
