I'm working on setting up a Discus tank now. I'm five days into it and it seems to be moving along fine. I've got ten tetras in my tank to help it through its cycle, a fiew decorative rock and a little gravel from the other tank toped with my desired new sand. Also a sponge filter with bacteria starts from the other tank as well, to speed the cycle up. My only problem I'm seeing is that my Ph is higher in this tank. It's sitting at 7.6 when the others are at 7 and always have been. I've got a new piece of drift wood in it that I got from the reptile section in the pet store to help lower the Ph. It looks to be a root of some sort and is connected with screws sealed with hot glue. The wood is very similar to the ones in the aquatic section of the store and I know hot glue isn't a problem because I have some in my other tanks, but could it be the reptile wood or the screws thats creating the higher Ph? I've researched quite a bit on Ph and really don't want my tank to be a headache. I've been told discus like the Ph lower but isn't mandatory unless spawning. My main concern (correct me if I'm wrong) is the fact that my Ph is off from normal, I know discus are a little more demanding and I don't want anything to go wrong. Thank you, Lycia Hi,
