Hi guys,
I've been cycling my tank for a month and a half now and I think its nearing completion, however I've noticed when doing water changes that my pH is a lot lower than it used to be.
Here I retested the water from my tap and it went from 6.8 to 6.4. Will this do anything bad to my cycle? Should I try and raise it or is it a good level? (If so, how should I raise it? I know everyone recommends against using pH Up.)
I plan to have a shrimp and maybe a few neon tetras or a few guppies. Its a small tank, only 8 gallons.
