I tested the water I use for the tanks (reconstituted RO water) and the PH is 6.6
I tested Naz's tank (with the IAL in it) and the PH seems to be 6.0, but it could be lower because that's as low as the test goes.
He seems to be much much happier with the IAL in the tank. Eating like a hog, confident, curious, and stopped biting his tail.
