I have a 20 gallon tank that is cycling and is a PH of 8 with the freswater master test kit. I have another small 2.5 gallon betta tank that has been running for a month, and it is an 8 also. WHen I test the tap water, it was reading at like 7.8. I have a bowl of water sitting out to outgas and test in a few days, but I am alarmed. I want to get Danios, Tetras, Guppies, and shrimp when my tank is cycled, but that is a pretty high PH. What do I do to reliably have it lower? or will the PH stabilize lower when the cycle is done, and will I find a lower tap water PH after it has offgased?
