Hello friends, I am setting up my first tank and the ph seems really low.
I've been setting it up for the last week there are no fish/shrimp in it yet. I've added dechlorinator and some live nitrifying bacteria (pictured). I also have a filter with sponges and rings, and just set up the heater today. I tested the water last night and again just now and noticed the ph so I set up the UnicLife UL40 (second hand) that came with the tank. I don't have air stones yet. Did I do the right thing? I also boiled this driftwood 7 times and then put it in this morning.
Thanks so much in advance!

How low is the pH? And what kind of livestock are you planning?
Also, just out of curiosity, why boil the wood 7 times?
