I had an ammonia spike after a water change 0 to .05 but got that under control within a day and PH has stayed at the high 8 it has always been at. am I doing something to cause this? thanks, Shannon

If you have a very young or new aquarium, you may want to wait a few months until it stabilizes more, or try understocking each fish to give them lots of room for clean water. Hope that was somewhat helpful Malli
