got me a box of peat, havn't used it, waiting to see what you guys suggest.


29g
co2 inj (13.7, down from 33 last week)
ph 8.0 Tap
ph 7.4 tank
gh 10 tap
gh 10 tank (i checked out right after a water change)
kh 8 tap
kh 11 tank

im sure if i redo my diy co2 i will be injecting more and my kh will rise.

my thought is, by adding peat (aware of the tint and monthy changes) will it lower my ph? was told it will, my goal is 7.0 or lower, tried to raise chocolate goumies (sp) but did not do so well since they require low ph and better quality of water.

anyway, also added another piece of drift, but my reading down do lower than 7.4 (ph) any suggestion?

is peat worth it?

also thinking on getting a used cheap RO system (15gpd)
