So we're all allowed to have those "DUH!" moments right? I've been testing my water for PH using the regular PH test that came with me kit. It always read at about 7.6 which is close enough to where I want it, that I didn't even think about changing it. 7.6 being the top range of that test.
Today, by accident, I picked up the high range PH test bottle. The test read 8.0... DUH!
I'd really like my PH to be a bit closer to 7.0-7.5 which is recommended for fish types I plan on keeping.
My question is: Is this really that big of a difference? The fish seem to be doing fine, but they've only been in there about a week.
Can I lower the PH? Or should I leave it be?
If I lower the PH, what is the best product/method to do so?
