ph

[bri74]

hey guys.. I just got home from work for 2 weeks and my ph is running high its at 8.6 give or take. I am not sure what the best way is to bring it back down I am making some water for a change in the am as I usually do when I get home. But not really sure if this will help much. I am planning on a 10% change. Other params are ammonia 0,alk is a little high 2.9 or so,Nitrates are 0 ant nitrites are .05. I have not added anything to the tank in months I did just reaquascape last night. SG is 1.04 water temp is 79.I always try to stay away from any buffers but would it help? Its seachem powder.

Water changes will be the best way to bring that down. It's high, but not dangerously high. You can safely do 10% every day or every other day to gradually get it back on track (drastic changes are more harmful than gradually raising or lowering it).
