Good Ph Level?

[Zagggon]

what is the perfect PH level? 7.0 right? cuzz i got this stuff from wardley that says it will make my PH 7.0

the "perfect" pH - is that pH which is best suited to your fish!

if you are keeping a community tank and all tankmates survive/thrive at pH 7.0 then - yup you need pH 7.0

some species tanks need different pH to induce spawning and give some breeders the option of trying to "mimic" natural environments of the fish.

mssing with pH though can be tricky - never done it - but it is what i have read

hth??

Hi. I agree with Rob w. The best pH is the correct pH for the fish. However that is not always practical, so my answer is the best pH level is generally the pH of your source water. As long as you pH is somewhere between say 6.5 and 8.5 then i wouldn't worry about it too much. Most fish can adapt, or are adapted to a less than optimal pH, and you can cause much more trouble by trying to adjust it that it's not worth the expense or bother. A consistent pH is much more desireable than an ever changing pH due to adding chemicals.
