Hey gang,
I am having trouble with my ph rising in my tanks. Doing a little experiment to see what it is and figured I would get you guys to chime in and see what you think.
Fresh out of the tap my water is
PH 6
KH 0
TDS 43
A day after it sits in the tank it is
PH 7 ish...dark blue color
KH 2
TDS 300 ish
First test involves two 5 gallon buckets half full. One is empty and one contains 3 terracotta pots that when broken have a grey inner core of some kind. I suspect this to be the PH culprit. Tomorrow morning I will test both buckets and see what the PH ends up being. Currently both are at 6. Wish me luck...
