Well if that's the case then that's good. As I said, I wasn't sure if I was misreading.
Whether it's done or not, it's still worth clarifying for other people that stumble across this thread.
It is a huge difference, that fish can adapt to if they're acclimated accordingly. A fish used to a pH of 7 will adapt to a pH of 8. What they won't tolerate is constant swings up and down the scale.
As long as the ph doesn't crash any time soon we aren't too worried about it since the tank is cycling without fish. Once it's cycled we'll test for ph consistency and go from there.
