My fish tank now has been up for over ten days and the PH is just fine. I did have a coral type of decor in the tank which I removed prior to putting the fish in. I t was up for a couple of days then fine. Out of the tap mine is around 7.6 and that is what it is when it is in the tank now. I am grateful for this forum and the responses as I had all my seeded material set up and my tank ready to go and the pH was stalling the transfer.
