Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi. Just joined up couple of days ago. Please can anyone help and advise me on the use of PH level additives. I am still at the "learning how to..." stage of fish keeping ! My levels in new tank (without fish yet) are 8.0. Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate levels all pretty good now. Ammonia showing at 0.25 others are zero. I am thinking of adding catfish, cardinal tetras, angel fish and a few other compatible species not decided on yet. Tank is 110 litres. Should I be concerned with this PH level with regards to fish I thinking of keeping and should I consider adding API PH DOWN to bring it down closer to 7.0 or just under. Are they any good or do they cause more trouble than good ? I have read some opinions that most bred tropical fish are pretty hardy and should be able to adapt as long as PH is kept stable ? Thanks. Regards Nick
