I have setup a 10gal tank a month ago with 2 neon tetras the cycling is almost complete with the ammonias , nitrites and nitrates at the right levels but the Ph is stuck on 7.6..I have been trying to get it down with 'PH Down' giving 4 treatments a day of 3 drops of the the 'PH Down' solution 3 hours apart but the ph is still at 7.6 today...
Please help..I do not have any crushed coral gravel or any plants in the tank..Also I am given to understand that the buffer simply maintains the ph once a balance is achieved so first i need to bring the ph down to desirable level and then use buffer to maintain it..
I am lost as to what to do..its so frustrating to check the ph everyday and it being stuck on the same number or just rebounding back to 7.6 even if it goes down to 7.4..
Help with some advice........
