I have the API Freshwater Master Test Kit. It tests PH, High PH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate. Thanks!

Thank you for the advice everyone! My tap water is 7.2 and my aquarium water is a bit under 7.6. However, it could conceivably be a change in tap water chemistry that's caused the leap in pH. Take a cupful of tapwater, leave it for 24 hours, and then test its pH, and see what the level is...

Hi Yes, I changed the water the same time I added the gravel. I didnt test the tap water prior to the change. Maybe the tap water had a higher PH than usual?

Hi I added gravel to my son's 10 gallon tank and it raised the PH from (6.8 - 7.2) to almost 7.6. (Used API test kit) I was hoping to add a Betta to the aquarium over the next few days and I think the PH is too high for a Betta. If I change the water will this change the PH? Or will the gravel...

Thanks Asteria. Will do.

Hello, I've been reading about cycling for the past little while and I was wondering if it would be okay to add media from an established frog tank (55 gallon, 4 African Clawed Frogs) to a 10 gallon tank? Does the media need to come from an established fish tank? Side note: I haven't set up...
