Surveying pH for your OEBTs


I surveyed your temps yesterday so today I want to survey your pH. I've read a ridiculously large range from different shrimp-specific websites and seen people's pH here and there. (And I know it's important to match the breeder's params, but still curious). And tell me how well they're breeding at that ph.

So hit me!

I've heard anywhere from 6.4-7.8. I'd avoid anything above 7.4 though. My tap water was originally 7.4 but then it went up to 7.6. Weird. So I mix two quarts of my tap water and three quarts of distilled to get it at 6.4-6.5.
