High/low Range Ph

[andywg]

Good point - but fish that prefer more acidic water, like angelfish, neons and rams, still only live in around 6.0/6.5ph waters - which is still at the top end of the scale.

The pH scale runs from 1 to 14, so I would hardly describe 6 as at the top end.

For lowering pH you can use RO water mixed with tap, or collect rainwater.

I think he meant that 6 and 6.5 is the top end of the Acidic part of the pH scale, not very acidic

Mind you, 6.0 on the pH scale is 10 times more acidic than 7, and 100 times more acidic than 8, so it does make a fair difference.

hmm, i just read that the added ammonia for my fishless cycling will raise the ph... so it will be higher than normal?

i'd listen to the other guy from dorset.

i sugggest searching TFF for two different topics:
