So my water straight from the tap reads 7.4 ph. That evening it reads 8.0 and by the next day it reads 8.2. It seems to stabilize out at 8.2. I'm pretty sure this killed my discus I was trying to grow out long time ago and I used to mysteriously lose fish such as gouramis and tetras. I currently fill a 75 gallon tank with water and run a filter on it for a day or so before using it for a water change. This is getting to be a huge pain although I managed to rig a pond pump to pump the water back out.
I'm cutting down to two freshwater tanks. A troph tank and a pretty tank for my daughter. The pretty tank will have angels, gouramis, tetras, and other random fish. It will probably still need the conditioned water but what about trophs? Are they sensitive to ph swings? Is there something easier I can be doing?
I may also keep my peacocks which would make three tanks? Are malawis any different?
