Okay to cycle tank with really low ph??

What's ph. Lol

It'll come around on its own

What are you testing your pH with ?

Maybe having it that low is no big deal, but I'd prefer to see it a bit higher if it were my rock
A powerhead with aeration, or an air pump, may help your low pH

Don't try to adjust it with chems though
Either try to add some aeration or let it be

I just placed everything in the tank and we'll see how things adjust over the next while as I will be testing the water frequently anyways. I'm using the API test kit just bought it. The other few things that I had tested are as follows

calcium-540ppm which is a little high I think
dkh- 18 !!! through the roof
SG- 1.025
pH-7.4


The only thing I have not tested yet which could be contributing factor is Mag. I will test that tomorrow. I agree I would rather not start adding this and that and end up having more problems down the road.
Thanks again
