Yeah, I'm going to try not to tamper too much with it all unless I notice it's toxic for my fish and they start getting sick. I made the mistake of doing too much to my water with my last aquarium and it was a disaster.
I have read up on peat moss and driftwood lowering pH but when I do water changes I'll be adding more water with a pH of 8.4 and I feel like that would shock the bacteria in my tank, wouldn't it? Maybe I'm wrong.
I guess I could get like a couple 5 gallon water jugs and soak peat moss in there until the pH is leveled out. Would that work?
In any case, I'll just have to see what happens. As of right now, my water levels have remained pretty steady.
