why is my pH so high
hey everyone,
i tested my tank with liquid pH testers and im getting 8.6 consistently....im worried because i think thats too high.....its consistent and not changing so is it possible to keep fish, inverts and various corals alive with that pH. if not what can i do to lower it to 8.0 or 8.3? thanks |

alright i tested fresh out of the tap and it was pH of 7.6 which actually amazes me considering i have kept so many fresh water fish in here that would have needed lower pH

im using the master test kit, liquid pH tester. im not using the paper pH testing thing.
im following the directions word by word....5 ml's of the water and 3 drops of the liquid tester. then i shake the test tube and then test immediately like it says to do |
