Severum ph?

[sledge760]

Can any Severum make it a ph of 7.8? Should it be lower or will it just adjust?

Severums usually perfer a P.H. of 7.0-7.6 I think they could do ok in 7.8 But like I said is better.

I will try to bring it down a little. I do not want to stress him out.

my ph is probably around 8 and mine are doing great.

I keep my pH in my sev tank at around 6.8 with peat in the filter and some driftwood. The taps pH is 7.3 and the peat does a great job stabalizing it at 6.8.

Glad to hear that your sev's (kyleking007) are doing okay at 8. I would like to keep my tank at 7.8. My Philly city water PH tends to run on the high side.

mine is also around 8 and my sevs r doin great. just keep up with water changes and they should be fine in 7.8 ph.

I usually change anywhere from 60-80 gallons once a week (and never miss a water change) on my 180. I did some reading on different sites and it sounds like Sev's are pretty flexible with the PH and will easily adjust.

Usually I don't worry about the P.H. and my fish are doing great! I just feed them regulary and take good care of them. But I do check the P.H. once in a while.
