I went on vacation for a week. When I came back, my pH was 0.2 higher than normal. I'm not concerned about 0.2 increase, mainly wondering what would cause the pH to raise. And I will gradually lower it with my normal water changes - hopefully anyway, unless there's a bigger problem going on than I think.
My aquarium is only about 3 months old. And my aquarium water has always been 7.8, which is the pH of my tap water. The only things I add to the water are Prime and fish food.
And since I know it's going to be asked, my water params are:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: ~10
pH: currently 8.0, but is normally 7.8
I have a 29 gallon bow front tank. Current inhabitants are 5 trili cories, 1 black molly, and 1 apple snail that's about 1/2 inches (maybe slightly larger). The tank has no live plants.
