My water PH is very high. I have been doing a lot of reading where this is concerned because my tank is cycled and I am getting ready to add fish. It seems that most fish can adapt to different PH and changing PH is bad but mine is pretty extreme. I am testing with API High Range PH and it is strong dark purple. It is the highest it can go. So I guess I am wondering if fish can adjust to something that high or should I try to get that regulated. Also I use tap water for my tank and the tap water is that PH.
If you think I should try to drop it, if you don't mide please give me suggestions. Thanks.
I am using topfin gravel I purchased it at petsmart. As far as rock, it is just deco. So its hard and looks like rock but I am don't know what it is actually made of. I also purchased it from petsmart. Thanks
Have you been changing water out, or just adding it when it gets lower? Just adding water can concentrate the salts/carbonates in the water, which could, I would guess, raise the pH.
