Hi,
Just wondering about PH - mine always seems to test around 7.2 which I think is fairly high. Are there natural ways to control/lower PH? What is an ideal (as far as I know it is mid to high 6s)? I realize most fish will have different ideal phs. Right now I am stocked with tetras (rummies), hatchets, cories, a pleco, some white clouds, and endlers.
Also, how often should I be cleaning my tank, and how much of a change? I tend to change every 1.5-2 weeks, 30% - but my pleco seems to produce a heck of a lot of waste. (I am now aware it was not a wise move to get him with such a small tank).
Thanks for all your help.
