Hello everyone! I am new the this forum and have a problem.
I have a new 29 gallon tank. It's been filled for a couple weeks, started with Tetra Safe Start with bio-septra. I let the tank run empty for a couple weeks and added 2 dalmatian mollies and two sunburst platies. When I test my water, my nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia are non-existant, but my PH is high....8.5. And my overall hardness is very high also.
I have read that trying to adjust the PH is a risky maneuver and should be avoided. Should I be worried or just let the tank cycle by itself? On a side note, the fish are very active and are exploring their new home....they seem happy and healthy.
