Has anyone used Seachem's Neutral Regulator and Discus Buffer? I was persuaded to buy a bottle of each recently. I have been using Kordon's Amquel and Amquel Plus with my water changes so far, with no complaints. I am concerned about algae as the Seachem products contain phosphate buffers. Thanks

unless you have wild-caught fish (like ones you just recently flew home with from the amazon) or you are trying to breed particular species, there's no real need to mess with your pH. almost all store-bought fish will do fine in any pH from mid-6 to mid-8.
still, you dont really *need* to adjust it.
why is your tank pH so much different from your tap ph? are you adding CO2 injection to the tank?
also, let a bucket of tap water sit out overnight and then test it.
I have 2 liter DIY CO2 for my 29 gal. tank. Shall try the overnight test with my tapwater.
Let tapwater sit overnight, ph of 7.6 next day. Have only DIY C02. When I changed out the Floramax gravel for ADA Aquasoil, the ph dropped from 7.2 to 6.0, where it has stayed for the past year. So it seems that I really should adjust my tapwater before each water change.
