How should I raise the PH? I currently have 6.8 PH, but I heard you need it higher so that your tank will cycle faster. I've heard you should add baking soda, but not sure if that's safe.
Hello Goldfish. Trying to change the chemistry of your water isn't worth the effort. The chances of being able to maintain the change is next to none. Your fish will be much healthier if you just treat the tap water you have and then change half of if it every few days. This alone will maintain a steady and safe water chemistry for you fish and plants.How should I raise the PH?
