Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am brand new to the hobby and am learning as I go. I have a 38 gallon freshwater tank, and have just started fishless cycling. My question is regarding pH. The water out of the faucet at my location is in the neighborhood of 8.0 pH. While most of what I read says to avoid chemical water additives, this level seems way too high. Is there anything I can do to lower this, or is this something to even worry about?
