Hey I need some help with my PH. I just want to say that I am not chasing a perfect PH but just want to understand why this is happening.
Sunday 1/7 I did a 100 gallon water change. The PH from my tap is pretty high around 8.9.
So after the water change the PH jumped to 8.54 then dropped the next morning to 8.03 at 7:30am. By noon it was 8.12 noon, by 7:15am on 1/9 it dropped to 7.57 it has fluctuated a big up and done but has remained around 7.6 or 7.57
I am using a Neptune Apex system and the Probe is brand new. What would cause this?
I am planning on have a tank full of Peacock Cichlids so this PH is low for them.
Any and all ideas are welcome.
thanks
Ed
