I've never measured pH, so can't offer an opinion. I can't keep stylos at the best of times, so you're one up on me My birdsnest has pretty much remained perfect regardless of water chemistry, and the only time it took any damage was when a pump was moved and it got too much flow. Then I lost a few tips to algae. Moving the flow and snipping the tips back fixed everything
