API Proper PH 8.2 question

[Gutzjr]

Hello everyone this is my first thread here so be gentle

and i'm looking forward to learning all I can from my fellow Cichlid geeks

So what do you think about using the API PPH 8.2? my tank right now maintains ph at around 7.6 and my Cichlids have done just fine for a long time but I wonder if they could do better with a little more ph. Oh and I have a wide variety of species from Acei, Red Z, Elec Yellow, Jewel, Albino, Peacock, Bumble Bee, and many more if this helps. Thanks in advance for suggestions, Gutz

rule I go by is steady if far better than messing with it.

just leave it alone, u can try baking soda but if its stable and theyre doing alright i would leave em be

If they are doing great, don't mess with the PH. Mine is at 7.2 out of the tap and all my fishes are fine, breeding like crazy......

ive run the 8.2 from day one and have no problems. the fish are healthy and colorful. i also use the api freshwater aquarium salt also.

i used ph 8.2 for awhile and had no problems, imo seachem makes better stuff though
