Hey guys,
I've got a fairly new that that's been up and running for a bit and the pH seems to just steadily and slowly keep creeping higher and higher. Fish were introduced 2 weeks ago and seem to be doing just fine, but here are my current water levels: pH 8, am: 0, nitrite: 0, nitrate 10-20 temp: 79.3
Everything seems to be fine except the pH which has steadily risen from about 7 when I put the fish in. I tested my tap water and the pH of that isn't high at all.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Also what I could do to fix it or if I should even be concerned. Fish seem to be tolerating it fine, but 8 just seems very high to me.
Thanks!
Lexi
