my filter had a coulpe parts broke off and isnt working. i ordered the parts. i sent my take back up not to long ago. right now there is only 11 fish in the 100 gal tank. they are all small fish. last night i tested the ph lvl and it looked like 8.2-8.4. my tap right now is about 7.4-7.6. i did two 25% water changes the last two days. today i checked the ph again and it says 7.4-7.6. can the ph lvl change that fast over 10 hours? i am using the hagen ph high range test.

Take a cup of your tap water and let it sit out overnight. Test it after 12 hours and see the pH is. That's your "real" pH. Not what comes directly out of the tap.
