ryanjury Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I dont think it becomes dangerous as dimebag has said as long as its stable and the fish are happy its sweet.. Alot of people get hung up on what people or books say "PH should be this" etc etc but as long as the fish are happy and its stable then it will be fine.. The only time you may need to play with PH levels is when attempting to breed fish as some fish will only breed in certain conditions.

alanmin4304 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 The pH scale is logarithmic so the difference between 7 and 7.2 is very small (you would be chasing shadows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
