I have discovered a problem. I need some ideas. Denve water, becasue of the covid 19, has bumped up the ph of the tap water to 8.8. This became effective 03/01. So the use of straight tap is out. I think there are two options. First would be to figure out the correct amount of buffers to add to the current tap to get it to the desired ph. This would be a bit of a pain, but would keep the fish alive. The second, find a way to drastically reduce the need for water changes, which is likely impossible. Maybe an added canister filter, protein skimmer, or gfo reactor. Input would be greatly appreciated.
