Hey guys, just thought I'd give a heads up

You may want to check your water out of the tap before you do your water changes this weekend.  The water, which normally tests between 6.8 and 7 on my calibrated digital pH probe, is currently testing at 7.9.  Last time I tested my tap was last weekend and it was 7.0 steady.  I re-calibrated my meter just to be sure, and sure enough the water is at almost 8 today.

Sensitive-fish owners, be aware.

Actually, it must have been something temporary in the pipes.  I took another sample tonight and it is measuring at 7.1
