Hi,
I have a 10 gallon fully cycled with an Aqueon 20 filter, Bio-Rings, 2 Dwuarf Gouramis (Colisa Lalia), 1 Amazon Sword and 6 medium-small Vallisnerias.
I have 0 ammo 0 nitrites and 28 nitrates. When doing PWC i add API salt, Tetra aquasafe and Seachem Flourish
The problem is That mi Ph is 7.7 so is super high i need it 6.8-7.1but i don't know how to lower it i keep doing PWC and it only goes down to 7.5 and in a day or two it's 7.7 again (tap water Ph 7.0)
I've heard of people adding Vinegar and lemon juice but Is this safe?
I was also thinking about adding API Ph Down but i don't know if this will make my Ph instable or damage my biological filter.
