Yeah makes sense.

My problem with my tap water isn't ammonia, it's PH. almost 8 right out of the tap

The guy at that good store on 17th ave mentioned earlier said though that most tropical fish should be able to adapt to it.

Just have to use Prime any time you do a water change to treat the water.

My ammonia levels are creeping up over 1 so I may do a 20% water change anyway just to keep things low, I can see the fish getting stressed over it with red gills.

The more I read about it the more I wish I did a fishless cycle now.
