Hi,
I'm trying to get a tank started for a Betta. I tested my water out of the tap and it has a PH of 8.0 and ammonia of 3 PPM. So I figured I'll try buying RO water from the grocery store. Imagine my shock when it showed up with a PH of 8.8 and ammonia of 8 PPM(or higher, that's the highest my test goes).
Should I start trying to work with distilled water and 10% of tap water, plus Betta Bowl Plus so the water has the trace minerals a betta needs? Or some other idea that I haven't been able to google after about 15 hours of work.
I'm widely open to any ideas at this point.
Thanks,
Dan
