Regular Member JessicaandMarshall Posted October 10, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 10, 2003 I bought the pH test kit today, my tank water is 7.5 is it ok to put Coral in, or should I just skip that? Thank you Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member pm94 Posted October 11, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 11, 2003 I wouldn't mess with your ph. 7.5 is just fine for goldies. Just make sure it doesn't go up or down to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jetman73 Posted October 13, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 13, 2003 You need too check what your KH is before you add coral too the tank. Just because your ph is 7.5 does not mean it will stay there. KH, also known as carbonate hardness and alkalinity is what is responsible for keeping your ph stable. If you have high levels( above 100 ppm) than just regular water changes will keep it where it needs too be. I would think if you have a naturaly high kH and add coral too the tank you should expect your ph too rise too somewhere in the 8.3-8.4 range in the near future.

Regular Member JessicaandMarshall Posted October 15, 2003 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2003 Thank you everyone! My pH is actually 8, I read the saltwater number DOH. I think I'm going to skip the coral for now..... Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
