High Ph

454 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  sarille
I tested my water levels today in a ten gallon fish tank for my male koi betta and here were the results:
Ph: 7.6
Ammonia: 0.25 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 5.0 ppm

I've heard that driftwood and peat moss can help lower pH levels; any recommended brands/other suggestions? Also, should I be worried about the other levels as well?

There's nothing wrong with 7.6 pH. They can adapt to higher pH. What they can't do is adjust to fluctuations. Avoid pH products.

You don't need to add driftwood just to lower pH.

Great! Thanks for commenting, I'll keep everything as is.
