Hey guys, i have set up my saltwater tank about a week ago now and i have two green chromis in there to help with the cycle, i tested my water when i first set it up and the ph was about 7.8 i know fish can live at that but its ideal to have it between 8.2 and 8.4 so i bought some Kent buffer and have been adding it to the tank for the past three days but its staying at 7.8: ( i done a water change yesterday and added the buffer to the fresh saltwater before adding it to my tank, tested it after an hour or so and it read 8.2 i then added the fresh water to my aquarium and done another test an hour later and it read 7.8 still!!!! Sorry for waffling on but can some pls explain whats goin on? P.s i have checked all other perimeters and everthing seems fine (Amonia= 0ppm, Nitrite=0ppm and Nitrate 0.5ppm. Cheers Jamers!
