Drastic changes in your pH can harm your fish! Please get a pH INSTANT Liquid test kit. Low for 6.0-7.6 or High for 7.4-8.8 range test kit" to see where your water pH is at. Most LFS wil test your water for U so U know which pH kit to get. Also KH & GH test kits. For if your pH is low or high, you need to know what your Hardness is. Research your fish before you buy!! To understand pH and hardness, please check out these site to further explain What to do, what not to do, and how it works. The Ph Scale:link Understanding GH= General hardness: linkUnderstanding KH: linkAlso KH buffers and USING baking soda!!!linkUsing Acid buffers:: linkTo LOW Ph or KH problems: link____________________________________________ ALSO found this on hardness per gallonOften asked about hardness in grains per gallon. If you divide ppm by 17.1, the answer is grains per gallon. Example: 60 ppm = 3.5 gpg and 225 ppm = 13.1 gpg
