Water PH

I never test the PH or any water parameters but tested the water for the 1st time the other day and the PH reading was acidic about 6.2 or even lower.

I do water changes every 2 weeks and the tap water is pretty alkaline.

Why would my water be acidic if the tap water i'm putting in is not?

do you have driftwood in the tank? driftwood leeches out tannic acid which will turn your water acidic.
