Hi I own two freshwater tanks one is a 150 gallon and another is 29 gallon. My 29 gallon has a ph level of 6.0 and I can't seem to raise it therefore the 5 fish i have in there are ok but i can't seem to introduce any new ones. How can I raise the ph level and keep it steady?

Welcome to AC. if you post in the freshwater section you will get better help. how come you are trying to raise your ph?
I have the same 6.0 ph in my 75 gallon. Fish that are in the tank already are fine, but I have a similar problem when introducing new ones. (especially sensitive ones like cardinal tetras). I'd drip acclimate new fish for an hour or more so they get used to the ph slowly. Much better survival chance that way.
welcome to AC. Depending on the fish you want to have in your tank. Thinks like limestone and dolomite will increase the pH of your water.
What type of fish do you want to keep in your 29 gallon?
also what is the pH of your tap water?
