yeeahboy Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hey just wondering what the average (if there is an average) PH reading you guys get for Christchurch tap water. I have tested but don't believe the raeding, it was in the 8. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ring the waterwrks dept at CCC and explain where you live and they should be able to work out which wells your water is probably coming from and therefore the probable pH. Sounds a bit high to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 A guy I know was breeding Africans at New Brighton. He was breeding them at 7pH as he said that is what the water was and he wasn't going to muck about with pH changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 It varies a bit but it is alkali and I would have thought about 7.2. If it is acid the phones melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 7.4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Where do you live? Will also depend on what station is running. Don't know of any station that get ph round 8, Could there be an error with the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeysgirl Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Avonhead, seems to sit anywhere between 7 and 7.2, fishies all seem happy - guppies through angels through gourami, hatchets, neons etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
