alright, I bought a tank about 5 days ago. I let it sit for about 1 day, then bought 2 male guppies to cycle it... pH was 7.1, ammonia/ntrite/nitrate were 0 (cycling hadnt started yet)
...yesterday however I found a guppy dead. I checked ammonia and nitrite and it was 0 (forgot bout nitrate/pH because I was in a hurry) so I was like 'wtf?'
...and now today the 2nd guppy dies. Checked everything I could, Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate were still 0... but pH was 8.0!! How does a pH rise so fast in several days!? How do I lower it!?
Thanks
