One day we'll just have a 6.5-7.5 test! Lol. It's always tricky when it gets in that range you're in and having to verify between the two tests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Hill-Legion Aquatics Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 @nabokovfan87 Is 7.5 good for most fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you add wood you'll probably sit in the 7.2-7.4 range, which is great. If you add something like seiryu stone it would buffer the water slightly, or aragonite sand (crushed coral as well), would put you in the 8.0+ range and into african cichlid territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s great cause I wanna keep some African cichlids and at some point some South American type fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
