lowering PH/Alkaline
ok, ok,
I'll re-check the ph & alkaline tomorrow morning.(with the regular aquarium water testing kit) I used a 'quick' dipstick test (this afternoon) & both the alkaline & PH are over the high point which was 8.5 I figured I 'might' have a problem since we were using well water which smelled 'sulphery'.

Before you do that, just what was the ph?
