Hi,
My ph is at 8.2 in my freshwater aquarium! Luckily, I'm currently doing a fishless cycle in my aquarium, so there are no fish at risk or whatever. However, my tap water is at 8.4.
My plan for stocking my tank was this: One male betta, 5 cory cats, 5 harlequin rasaboras, and 5 platies. Will the fish be able to survive and thrive in such high ph?
Any suggestions for lowering it? I know not to use chemicals, and I've read peat moss and driftwood works well...
Thanks!
