Since my tank is cycling and I got no fish to look at so I was bored and did some water testing with the brita filter I use to filter my tap water for drinking. I found that it has no effect on ammonia in my tap water (0.5PPM from tap), but does lower my pH alot, my tap water pH is probably above 9 (city water report 9.4 average), the water drop all the way down to the mid 7 ph after just a quick run through the filter. The brita pitcher also stated that it filters heavy metals, chlorine taste and order. My question is, can I use the brita filter to lower my pH along with prime before I put in my aquarium? Are there any other pros/cons for using the brita filter?
Again, thanks in advance for any advice.
