Just as a matter of interest i left a bowl of my tap water out overnight. Straight from the tap it was 7.2 but this morning it had gone up to 8.0. We live in an area of very hard water.
My tank sits at between 8.0 and 8.4. How the heck am i going to get my ph down in order to stock with fish??? I am stocking with tetras when it has cycled which need a much lower ph.
I have tried googling but keep reading conflicting things. one said add c02 one said take it out???
Should I put some soda water in or will that be too short term solution.
