Ok so, the people at the fish store said to do a ph test and that it should be around 7 - 7.2. So I did that, and mine was 8.2. Then I got the ph down stuff, and it said to put 2 drops per gallon, so I put about 160 drops. It also said to only do it .2 at a time every 24 hours, but after doing the 2 drops per gallon it went down to 7.4, a whole .8 in ph at once! What the hell is that?! At least the guppies, cories, and lemons are ok. the platies don't seem to have changed from their previous gig of lying around and hiding under plants. 2 Platies have died now. I guess I'll just have to see how this ph thing plays out over the next few days and see what happens.
