Thanks for all your (and everyone else's) advice. I'll get the pH stable and a few fish in my tank and then experiment with a few plants as I go
Most city water has altered pH to allow for proper cleaning and disinfection at the water plant (I'm a civil engineering student and learned this in classes ) they also typically disinfect with chlorine so you should watch for chloramines too.Ok. I just tested my tap water. It's 6.6. It's been a week since I did a 90% water change. I haven't had fish so I was waiting til tonight to do another 90% change since I was going to get fish tomorrow. I'll buy the argonite at the store too. I've struggled through this entire cycle with my pH.
