My pH is sitting around 7.8 - 8 and I want it around 8.2

I have oyster shell in the tank to help buffer it, but was wondering if this product I have "pH UP" will do any good? And if so how much per litre?

Its vague instructions read "Add a sufficient quantity....."

LOL

Any input is much appreciated

Cheers

It will work for a few hours. Why do you want to raise the pH even more? What you have should be sufficient and less hassle.

oh really? thats cool then...I thought malawi like around 8.2

but if it aint broken, why fix it huh? hehe

cheers

My Malawis are living in a lot lower. I got them off a breeder who has them breeding in pH7.0 cos that's what his tap water is and he doesn't like to muck around with water chemistry.

Most people keep their malawis around 7.

far out!

mine should be ok at what I have tho huh?

Whatever they are used to

hmm they are from all over the place, mind you most of them have been with me for around 2 months and pH was always been around 8...so if the fishies are happy, so am I

Leave the ph as is. You'll be fine. As long as the water is stable.

My tanks are around 8, I think. :-? I haven't tested my water in years.

You should see the great water quality we have here. :-?

Brisbane has 3 different water sources to different areas, all different hardness & Gold Coast has 2 different sources....... :-?

My lfs keeps its mals at a ph of 7, if you decide that you do want to raise the ph some more, try a few pieces of coral.

Hollywood sells bags of coral rubble for quite cheap, you could stick some in your filter if you can, or scatter some around the tank.
