Hello all,
I am fishless cycling a 36 gallon tank with pure amonia and Seachem's Stability. My amonia is starting to drop and my nitrates are rising, but my PH is suddenly very high.
Current readings are: Amonia about 1.5ppm, nitrites 0ppm, nitrates about 3ppm, and PH is maxed out on the scale obove 8.8.
Funny thing is I tested PH yesterday and it was 7.6. I didn't even add amonia last night. Amonia was ablout 2ppm yesterday.
Will a PH that high stall the cycle? Should I try to lower it?
Thank you for any advice!
