How long does it usually take for cement to stop leeching pH-raising elements into the water? I watched a video and the creator of the video said that he does about 8-10 water changes, but he doesn't say how long he lets the water sit in the tank for before removing it.
I started by doing about 10 "quick" water changes (not letting the water sit in the tank for very long). Since then, I've been letting the water sit in my tank for about a day or two and then removing it (done this about 4 times now), but the pH keeps showing up at 9 or higher! I'm just curious as to how long I'm going to have to wait before I can start re-introducing my fish to their home.
