if you do it slowly then yes they should be okay.

 

[matchstickman47]

how slow we talkin?

 

[Truck]

over a period of a few days...how are you planning on raising it?

i saw some ph raise solution in the shop, but this is why im asking, what do you recomend?

 

[Truck]

dont ever use those PH adjusting solutions....theyre the worst products you can use to adjust the PH it will more likely fluctuate and give the fish PH shock...your best bet is adding some ocean rock over a period of a few days

thanks for the fast replys


theres alot of ocean rock in there already ... it didnt do much to the ph

For every 5 gallons of water, add 2 tablespoon of epson salts, 1 teaspoon of aquarium salt, and 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda, works wonders.
