Ok I’ll give this a try & see how it goes. Thanks again for all your helpful advice!

Thank you so much for your continued responses. I certainly appreciate your help. You have been very informative. Please forgive me, I don’t believe I’m understanding correctly. If I use aragonite or dolomite won’t that raise my already high ph even higher?

I should mention I test the water every morning but last night because the fish were staying at the surface or swimming in place in the middle of the tank & haven’t been eating for two days I tested the water in the evening. It was 7.2 that morning but had spiked during the course of the day to...

That was my problem before I started using the Neutral Regulator. The KH out of tap is so low that any acids in the tank seem to eat it right up. My KH would go from 4 one morning to 1 or zero the next. Once the KH was used up (usually with a day or two) the PH would tank drastically to 6.2 or...

Absolutely. Do you mean what is the PH before I put in tank & after? After the water sits (for a couple hours) it is usually anywhere between 7.8-8.4PH. The GH is always either 10 or 11 (both in tank & before.) KH is anywhere from 1-4dKH before I add the Neutral Regulator. After Neutral...

It’s just the API liquid tests for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, PH, GH, & KH.

GH is always 10 or 11 drops both from tap & in tank. (I forget the conversion.) I’ve done daily testing on both tank & tap water for almost 6 weeks now. I also experimented with testing the tap water after letting it sit in a 5 gallon open bucket for different amounts of time. I tested right...

Hi All! I’m having an issue with high PH & low KH causing fluctuations. We have city water & the PH varies between 7.8-8.2 (after sitting in an open bucket for a couple hours.) The GH is consistently either 10-11 drops. The KH varies but is usually between 1-4 drops. I have guppies & no...
