nitrate 20,nitrite-0, pH 7.2 how do I get nitrates down and my ph up to 7.6-7.8
Do I add some salt for the ph ? If so, how much over how long of a time period ?

whats your ammonia? nitrates go down with water changes....whats the ph of your tap water? do not use salt....it is more harmful than good...you can use some crushed coral in your filter area to raise the ph more naturally but why do you want to raise it? unless its for your african tank. id leave it be as a stable ph is better than one that changes all the time

+2 on shawnie's advice, most fish acclimate to pH levels over time
