Aquarium Advice Apprentice
So I have a new tank that I'm getting all cleaned and ready to start cycling, so in preparation I bought a water test kit (vials and solutions, not strips) and I found the pH of my faucet water is 8.0 straight from the tap.
Most of the fish I'm interested in keeping have a range between 7.0 and 7.5. So as a matter of opinion do people think I should just buy some pH modifying chemicals and patch my tap water each water change, or should I just make it easier on myself and find fish that can tolerate 8.0 water pH?
