Any one know what would make pH go up?
My tank was started on Dec. 26, fish in cycle on a 60 gal. 9 zebra danio and 5 serpae tetra. pH has been a steady 8.0 the entire time, and that's about what my tap pH is. Ammo sits about .25 or less. Pwc as needed. Testing with liquid api. Nitrite and nitrate always 0. About 1/2in dirt under gravel cap. Med to heavy planted.
We treated for fungal, and finished the treatment yesterday. Added 3 of the danios to replace some we lost and added a couple jungle vals. No new decorations etc.
Pic shows tank pH on the left and tap on the right.
I am doing a pwc right now, will slowly fill, run the filter for a couple hours then do another.
Any ideas on what could drive my pH up?
