:help: I changed the water in my Discus tank on Sunday and also tested the parameters and everything checked out fine...today I'm doing my second of my typical three w/c's per week of about 50-75% and decided to test the water chemistry again because my male apisto's color was practically gone...my ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates checked out great...but my pH went from about 7.0 to about 7.8-8.0 in just these few days...I also checked out the water from the tap and its ranging about 6.8 right now...Its a 55gal w/ 6 juvs about 2-3" one leopard frog pleco and my pair of cockatto apistos. There are four large pieces of driftwood and a piece of teracotta pot (i took it out as a precautionary measure today)....a huge sponge filter and an xp2 (with new filter media as of sunday). I cant think of whats going on....HELP
