Hi Dave. Thanks for the follow-up on your pH saga. As for your cloudy water, several seasons ago I took a jar of my cloudy water to one of the local aquarium stores that I’d bought a few things from that season and they tested the water for me to […]
Thank you all for your welcome back remarks, advice, and encouragement. I’m adjusting my feeding schedule and it seems to be working well at 3 times minimum per week. It’s doing a number on the filters so I’m going to augment the filtering by adding another pump and DIY Filter at […]

OK, here are the results of my water testing:
Tap water from city source tested immediately, from a line that has never been softened: pH 7.4
Tap water, not softened, after 24 hour wait: pH 7.4
Reverse-osmosis water (R.O. unit is very small. I only can use it to top off losses between changes): pH 6.6
Softened tap water […]

because you are adding a certain percentage of NEW (fresh, unadulterated) water as the Partial Water Change. In the case that you exhibit, your normal 10% PWC is just that — this new water (10% of the tank’s volume) is considered as your partial water change.
While the 90% remainder of your […]
