Those are some great fish! The Orinocodoris Eigenmani are not that common so definitely a bargain for someone.

Probably same as you. My tap measures ph 8.2, Kh 7 and Gh north of 25. I’m moving to Lake tanganyika.
Sometimes I forget you are in a different water district area. (Tacoma?) You are not that far away in U.P. and yet different source than what I have in Lakewood. According to Lakewood Water all our water comes from underground aquafers with no surface, or recycled water used. I hadn't measured my tap water ph in years but I seem to remember it seemed to hover right at 7.0 to 7.2. I should retest one of these days to see.

Out of curiosity, is the water consistently that measurement, does it vary by season or time of year? I ask because the Tacoma water website says: "The source of our water supply varies throughout the year, depending on the season, weather, snowpack level, inflows and water storage conditions."

I don’t think it does. Memory serves it has been around 8 when I have tested tap or tank.

I'm lucky with Seattle water as snow tun off. It needs a little chlorine remover but sometimes the levels are so low a mistake of forgetting to add Prime on my part doesn't hurt the fish.

Chicago water is like hitting fish with an iron pipe.
