if it's a new pond I would let it sit there and sort out its own Ph levels.
After a month or so start planting, but if I were setting up my pond again I
wouldn't introduce fish for a year, and I wouldn'y keep tipping in chemicals
from the pet shop

Hi Everybody,

Just set my pond up Wednesday, and finsihed putting the rock around it
(for the 9th time yesterday lol) Getting the rock to look right was
harder than digging the hole! At anyrate, I test my Ph today, and its
7.5. How do I lower it? The book I have says that I should be at 7 or
even a little below. This is all new to me. I have Sal****er tanks in
my home, and am used to boosting me PH the 8.2 not lowering it to 7.
Please help. Thanks

Kevin
