I have let the tap water sit in a small cup with a bubbler in it for hours and hours and measured PH.
This is the results i'm getting -
Straight Tap : 7.4-7.2
Aging Barrel 24 hr : 7.4-7.2
Small Cup with bubbler in it hrs later : 7.4-7.2 (I thought PH would go down but it didnt??)
Tank - 6.8-6.6

So really odd. My Ph in my tank only goes down. Nothing else I can do makes the tap water PH go down besides my tank. ???? Is this possibly related to whatever PH additive is in the water here? Obviously not gassing off but having a reaction with bacterias in my tank.
In other news I have the RO Right and Seachem Alkaline Buffer. Per stendker website I will try to get 7-8 KH with a mixture of RO Right and Alkaline buffer
