Ph way too high

[bettafishlover86]

And what's the pH of a glass of water that's been allowed to stand for 24 hours - have you done that yet?

It was 6.0

Some rocks and stones can increase pH. Do you have anything like that in the aquarium?

I don’t

I see I'm not the only one with PH issues. Comes out of tap at 7 and ends up 8.2. Nothing in the tank that I can see causing it to spike. Curious what you find out.

Mine does the same, from 7 to 8 in 3 days and it's in a Food grade pail with nothing. I add Sodium Biphosphate to bring it to a stable 7.2 for a couple days before doing a water change.
