Default Basic chemistry question

gH = 3
kH = 3
Temp = 79-80 oF
pH = 7.8 - 7.2 (over a week say)

1-2 x 25% Water changes weekly
Tap water
gH = 3
kH = 2-4
pH = 8.0-8.2

Symptoms - dead neon tetras


First thing to check would be ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.
Especially with your high pH, any ammonia will be present
in (highly toxic) molecular form, which could be the cause
of the deaths.

Cheers,

Michi.
