My pH fell from around 7 to between 5 and 6 after doing a 50% water change (the ammonia level in my tank had spiked) but my fish seem ok and that was like, 2 wks ago. Should I put some pH conditioner in there as well? I read that messing with pH while a tank is cycling can cause more harm than good. Thank you very much for your time!-Michelle Re: Mollies 1/28/11 Thank you for your response! I’m sorry for asking so many questions; I’m new at this, and I’m getting so much conflicting information its difficult to sort through.
