how many pH do you need for 6 gallons of water?

Answer 1

I would not worry for the pH unless you are preparing a breeding tank and you know what you are doing. Anywhere between 6.5-8pH should be fine for all ornamental fish if it is kept stable!

The fish will acclimatise to your tanks pH and will be very happy. I have kept Discus to pH up to 7.5.

What is most important is the levels of Ammonia and Nitrites that are very toxic and will kill your fish. These are controlled by your filter which will need about 1 month to establish. During this time keep the fish load at minimum (1-2 hardy fish for your tank will be fine). Do a small water change at 15 days and a large at 30. After that you can start adding your fish.

Answer 2

Hi there,

PH in your tank water will be depends on the type of your fish.

Every fish require different PH for more healthy environment. You might need to have few things to adjust your PH in your tank.

1. PH Up medicine
2. PH Down Medicine
3. PH tester

THis 3 main stuff is require for adjustment the PH in your water. Once you bought a fish, try to ask for assistant about the fish PH level. THen you can just adjust the PH to the appropriate figure for them.

Hope that the statement i provide will hlep you on it.^_^

Answer 3

PH has nothing to do with the amount of water, it is merely how acid or alkaline the water is.

For most aquarists, with most fish, it doesn't matter. Trying to change the PH tends to result in unstable water and further problems. Most fish are adaptable to a good range of PH, and most of the fish we purchase have been bred in tap water and are already used to it. Playing chemist with the aquarium is fine if that's what you enjoy, but with an exception of some of the more delicate species, it is very rarely necessary or recommended.

Answer 4

For a marine aquarium it's best to keep the pH alkaline, similar to that of seawater (about 8.3 most places). In fresh water, your tap water is likely a neutral pH of 7. Over time, your water will tend to acidify (lower pH) due to the introduction of food and wastes. The simplest way to increase the pH is to add some baking soda dissolved in purified water. Do not make big pH changes in a hurry.

Answer 5

to tell the truth, i have never worryed about ph, it depends on ur fish i have heard about 7 for the ph for most freshwater aquariums

Answer 6

pH is the level of acidity or nuetrality in the water.

For every different type of fish, they need a certain level of pH.

Find out what type of fish you have, find out what level's of pH they need to live, and then buy a pH test and solution kit from your local pet store.

Answer 7

It depends on the type of fish you have.
