I have not added anything to the water at all. So far I had 50gallons of water in garbage cans, pH 8.28 dKh 10 1.025 sg average. I added the water to the tank, replacing a min of 90% of the water. The tank originally read 1.024 sg pH 8.25 and dKh of 12. Since then, everything has stayed the same, except the pH is down to 8.05 and falling. As far the the critters, the snails hermits and cleaner shrimp are ok, and the eel is hiding, so it's hard to say how he is, but I am assuming fine. I read through a lot of articles by Randy from RC and he said anything down to 7.8 is fine. I would prefer 8.2ish but I am gonna let it go and see how far is goes down. I will pick something up tommorow that raises pH incase by the time I get home it;s really low.
