Ok for my tank
Ammonia/Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
PH 8.0
I use a freshwater master kit, with the drops (not perfect but better then the dip strips in my opinion)
Let some tape water sit out and tested it...
PH 7.2-7.4
No ammonia, nitrite or nitrate detected
Bedrock is Limestone, even though it is city water I expect a higher ph due to the carbonates...
Any idea what in my tank might be raising the ph by 0.8-.06!?!?!?!?
Sig will give you the fish and plants (but plants are new and ph of 8.0 has been constant since b4 the plants...
Tank has been up and running for over 1.5 years, I have gravel substrate, various river rocks from 2-10 cm in diameter (none are carbonates) and a piece of malaysian driftwood.
I'm stumped I can not think of anything that would be causing the ph to go up like that.
