Your are right Plants like it a little lower then the fish. You have to come
up with a happy medium.
Her we have acid rain and I always had to up mine. with a little baking
soda. I mixed it in a jar first 1 teaspoon in 8 oz of water and dumped it
in.

Ideal for many fish is nearer to 8. pH 7.5 is OK.

Just set my pond up Wednesday. Tested my Ph yesterday, and it 7.5.
How do I lower it to 7 or below. The book I have from the Library, say
a little under 7 is ideal for plants and fish, is this true? Thanks
