    Why is my ph always rising in my aquariums?

    So, Iā€™ve noticed that my ph in my tanks is rising. My tap water is 7.5, and I do weekly 20 percent water changes. Itā€™s not my substrate (fluval stratum, fluorite red, Caribsea sand, and aqua natural gold pearl gravel) the only hard scape I use is driftwood. All my tanks are over 6 months old, I...

    Pleco fell in hot water!

    Hello, I was deep cleaning my tank yesterday when I thought I had gotten all the decor out safely with my albino bristlenose pleco still in the tank.
