Tank water at PH 7.8 need help!
Dear all,
My tank water was tested PH 7.8. Any effective method to reduce value other than using PH down solution. I tried changing 20% water each day, not much helps. Thanks Teo Singapore |

Thanks Teo Singapore assuming you need to reduce the PH for the type of fish your keeping then you can mix the tap water with R/O water or you can filter your tap water through peat moss. I would not recommend using chemical to alter the Ph as this is a temporary solution only. Rick |

A steady consistent 7.8 is preferable to bouncing it all around trying to change it. Most all fish can acclimate to a pH in this range- I wouldn't fight it. If you must have a lower pH then reverse osmosis is the answer. -- Toni http://www.cearbhaill.com/discus.htm |
