My alligator snapping turtle's shell looks real pale and flaky now. Its been like this for a year now. I emailed the guy from turtleman.com and he said that I need to lower the Ph.

How do I lower the Ph in my water? I do very frequent water changes to using a sort of pet store chemical can be expensive. Is there a natural way like placing driftwood in the water or something?

The only think in the tank is a floating piece of cork. Does cork have some sort of chemical that is released into the water thats damages the snapper's shell?

thanks.
