Good morning everyone{friends across the pond, good afternoon!}
We finally have the water looking really great after the huge problem from a few weeks ago. Our PH is 7.2
In the past it has been holding @ 6.8
Is this normal after all the water changes? We've been doing them frequently to make sure the remaining fish are safe.
Thanks, Mary

If you have little natural buffer in your water, it is possible that, prior to the frequent water changes, the excess nitrogen in the water was lowering the pH. I would keep an eye on the pH for awhile, just to make sure that it remains steady at 7.2. Either number would be a good pH for most fish, but the most important part about pH is that it remains stable.

Thanks sirdarksol! I'm so paranoid after the catastrophe.
