Boy i'm posting lots of messages here :)

I've had fish tanks before but only ever small ones, I used to check the ph once a week and it was OK most of the time. I checked it 3 days ago and adjusted it to 6.8 (what the pet store said) then today it was WAY over again so I adjusted it again. I just checked it after 2 hours and it is over again.
What might be causing this? And how can I fix it? I'm sure the fish aren't liking it much!
 
How much is 'way over'? Most fish will be fine somewhere between 6.5 and 7.5. Any value in there will be better than a yoyo--and that's what you'll likely get with most of the bottled ph reducers.
