off water

[shahrzad1893]

So i got my new water tests in the mail and i decided to check them before work
everything was good except for a few

the PH was at 8.0 which is a bit low (how can i raise this?)

and consequentially the Ammonia is at .25ppm x.x

and Nitrate between 5.0 and 10. ppm

but Nitrite is still at 0ppm


any help on getting these back to normal

Your ph is fine at 8.0 as long as it is stable at that reading always test at the same time every time.and get more macro algae in your sump or fuge to lower the the nitrates.anything changed or added lately to cause the ammo level to rise

I agree, 8.0 is not low. Anything between 7.8 and 8.4 is just fine.

ok i was told 8.2 - 8.4
nothing added to the tank
i have some macros growing in the tank since my sump doesnt have a light.
just going to monitor it for now
