New water ph level when doing water change.

[Drakan]

When I do a water change(10-20%), the new water I refill the tank with is brought to the right temperature and salinity, but i've never heard of anyone talk about ph with new water.

When i'm refilling the water with a water change, do I have to bring up the ph level to what the tank is?

After doing tests, I realized that the salt mix brings up the ph to the proper level. Sorry for wasting space.

The answer to your question is, "Yes, if the water change is of a significant volume." You can find more information about that here: How to Make a Successful Water Change

The new salt is hopefully buffered properly; the source water is hopefully truly neutral; and the aquarium water is hopefully properly balanced. However in reality the three rarely exist at the same time for a water change to occur where the pH should not be reviewed.
