Hey all. I am transferring fish from a 55 gallon tank at work to a 75 gallon tank at home. I need to have the fish moved by the end of next week because our company is relocating our office and the fish tank can not come with us.
I have gotten everything prepped and preemptively set up my filter for the 75 gallon tank with bio balls from the old tank that have established bacteria. I am seeing readings of PH-8-8.5, NO3-0, N4-0, Ammonia-0-.02 Anyone have ideas on how to lower the PH within the next couple days without using chemicals or peet moss? I am adding additional kick start (bio accellerator, I forget the brand name) and I had planned on NOT doing a fish in cycle but don't think this will be possible if the cycle has not completed by middle of next week. The only thing I can think of is going to Walmart and adding some RO and tap (80/20) every other day (10-15%) to keep the PH down and hope the cycle starts creating some nitrates soon.
Any thoughts, please help?
