I've treated my tank (which now, has only 3 mollies and a guppy) with broad spectrum medicine to combat whatever killed off my other 2 guppies. The first dose was yesterday, and I've given them the second this morning.
I've been testing my water parameters daily and the pH has shot up from about 7.2-7.4 to 8.0 by this morning. It doesn't mention pH in the leaflet that came with the medicine. I PRESUME it's the medicine that's caused this alkalinity thingy...but is it harmful to have a pH of 8.0??
Sorry, posted this in "chit chat" first, and didn't know how to 'move' it here, so pasted it here instead...sorry! (Incidentally, can anyone tell me how to 'move', so that I don't clog up the wires again?!)
