Hi all, help! I have a 50 gal. tank, up for about 8 weeks. Have air stone and spray bar. Hardness is: 300 ppm/Alkalinity: 300 ppm+ and pH is 8.4 or higher.
Weekly water changes at 25%.However I don't know the best way to lower the PH and alkalinity of my tank. The water is also very hard; we are on a well and even then a water softener. Green spot algae is a problem. At first there was plant growth, but now they have leaves that are darkening, and one of my mollies is not happy; probably won't make it. Danios and guppies are fine, but don't know what to do, any help offered will be appreciated.
thanks.
