Hey! I recentually bought the Tetra Correct pH 7.0 tablets. I was wondering how to add these to my aquarium.
 
Same question as me! I'm still trying to figure if these had anything to do with the tank disaster? Lord knows I hope not!
 
Why would you want to be using them? Messing around with your ph levels is very risky and should be avoided. It can cause the water to be very unstable with serious fluctuations and possibly causing ph shock and killing fish...

Ikr! I hope not to!
 
If you don't know what your pH is, that's even more reason not to mess with it!

A stable pH is far, far more important to a fish's health than a "correct" one. Water will nearly always bounce back to its original pH after a while, and all that up and down will be stressful for your fish.

Alright! Thanks for the info! 
 
Furthermore, there are very few fish which actually prefer truly neutral water. Most fish will prefer it either slightly acidic or slightly alkaline, depending on the species.
 
A simple rule to work by is to never mess with your water in a way that you don't intend to keep doing, forever. Stability is key.
