What makes ph go up in an established aquarium? It has only had a small bioload but I recently changed the substrate (Sunday).
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5
pH 8.3 (normally 8)
28 gallon
4 Corys
6 neon tetras
Plastic plants
Sand substrate
No driftwood. Clay or ceramic decor. Whatever they make the stuff at Petsmart out of
I know getting crushed coral (or argonite?) would stabilize pH but at what?
Off to do a water change!
