Hello all. Here's a question I bet that you've all heard before. I just couldn't resist asking it again.
I have a 44gallon pentagon. Brand spanking new. The PH is at 7.6. This is too high for my lovely little discus that will be inhabiting my wonderful new tank.
I've added Ph down and amazon buffer to this aquarium. The Ph will go down to 6.8 for about an hour than spike back up to it's original 7.6.
My question: Do I have to take out some of my pent's water and add r/o to decrease the PH levels?
Will they go down naturally with time?
This is bugging me tonight.
Any info will ease my troubled mind! Thanks.
