Okay, what would be considered a good ph level for a tank with tetras and guppys and another tank with gouramis? I appreciate any help with this question.

Actually, as long as your water is somewhere between 6 and 8, stability is a lot more important than having it exactly perfect. You can do a lot more damage trying to adjust it to 7 and causing constant pH changes than if you just left it alone. Most fish can adapt fairly well so stability is more important.
