Im just about to set up a low tech dirt tank and thought I had everything set, then I had the bright idea to test my tap water for ph and the results have me a bit worried / confused as to what to do about water changes
Ph straight from tap 6.2
Ph after standing (12 hours) 7.6
Ph after standing (24 hours) 8.2
Ive tested it everday for the last 6 days and all the results are within 0.2 of the above
So what should regarding water changes ? Should I wait the 24 hours for it to gas off as im concerned about fluctuations in co2 and the resulting algae problems
Thanks in advance
