What's the best way to check pH level of water in aquarium?
My dad bought me an aquarium for my birthday. He is aware of my interest in aquatic ecosystems and my desire for exotic fish. I live near the coast and just refilled it with what appears to be clean sea water. I recently noticed a strange color in the water and suspect that the pH levels are off. Is there any way I can confirm it?Asked 13 days ago

What causes pH levels to drop in an aquarium?
I just started an aquarium in my back garden to take my mind off a busy work schedule. I have a couple tadpoles and fish that are doing very well. I clean my aquarium from time to time while I feed the fish. I noticed algae build up and I'm not sure if this is a sign of low pH in my aquarium and what could be causing it.Asked 13 days ago

Is there a way to tell if pH balance is off in fish tank?
My son has a mini aquarium he keeps in his rooom with a few fish. He's been noticing some of the smaller fish are more irritable than usual and he thinks something might be wrong with them.

Are goldfish sensitive to water quality and pH?
My husband bought a reverse osmosis filter for our home to filter our well water. My son wants a pet fish, and I'm thinking about getting him a gold fish with a small tank to teach him about the fish. My kitchen has filtered water with a pH score of 7. I'm curious if this will have an effect on the gold fish?Asked 13 days ago

Will aerating the water in my aquarium raise pH?
I have a water swirl that I use to aerate my drinking water which produces great-tasting water. I maintain a small aquarium at home and I usually use tap water for it. I recently took an interest in providing my fish with optimum pH water although I'm not sure if using aerated water for the aquarium will not make it too alkaline.Asked 13 days ago
