General Care Discussion :: pH of water... affecting fish? Is turtle in danger? HELP!!!

[Nighthawk11]

Untill i can get the filter thing put together....My bottled water is RO and carbon filtered...I guess I'll mix some of my tap with it...is that OK? Nighthawk I'm sorry for hijacking your topic. My ph is 7.6 too...which is odd cause the bottled water is 6.

I liked getting hijacked, it gives me more information lol.
I got a bigger tank! hopefully the fish and turtle can co-exist better... No more ammonia burns.. cycled water.. but now theres some poop and junk at the bottom of the tank that the filter isn't cleaning up, I tried to get some with the net but it's not doing it... the filter almost touches the bottom but this is on the other side of the tank.. any ideas??

You could get a circulation pump/ power head to direct debris from that side to the other. I have that too in my tank....I figure I will just suck it out with the gravel siphon once a month. It gives my algae eaters and corys something to eat. Lol I just put a group of mollies in my tank I'm hoping for babies.
