Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi
I recieved my Api master test kit today as advised to buy by forum members! Couldn't wait to try it out however I am now alarmed at the results of the ph test. I did the first ph test and it came out a deeper colour than what was on the chart so I used the test for the high range ph and the results where the ph is at 8.4. Ammonia - 0. Nitrite - 0. Nitrate - 0. So I am now really worried about the ph level.
I checked it last week but with tetra test strips and it was 7.2 so why is it suddenly so high and what can I do about it?
Would really appreciate any advise on this as I'm worried about the health of my fish. I did a 25% water change 5 days ago and every few days I use the gravel cleaner to remove the fish waste from the substrate before straining the water and adding it back in.
Will my fish be ok? What should I do?
