My 75-gallon community tank is cycling now. It's my first try at keeping fish. So far I have three Buenos Aires Tetras as starters and three little Bala "Sharks." My question is about the pH. My tap water is 8.2 and I have done nothing to adjust it. I have heard it's better to have it too high than to play with it and risk sudden changes. But 8.2 seems pretty high, considering that the fish I want to keep seem to like 7-7.5.
Am I doing the right thing by leaving the pH alone? The other fish I plan to add are Clown Loach, Rainbow Shark, a Pleco or maybe a Pictus Cat.
Thanks for your help. --Charlie
