So I went to Petco to see if I could get some crushed coral to put in my canister (my kH is about 2 and I want to raise it in preparation of co2 injection). So the guy there suggested I use one of these lime formation things to raise my kH. He cautioned me that it might raise too much and to be careful. Thus I convinced him the crushed coral was the better option so I could adjust the amount as needed. So yay he gave me some!
Anyway I wondered if lime is ok to use for the function as I had never heard of it? He seemed to know what he was talking about every time I go in there (no one else there knows as much as he does)...and he told a customer that the fish she wanted really couldn't live in a fish bowl as she wanted...so that was really good. But I'm still curious about the lime.
Anyway I successfully added my coral to my filter. I'm still in the learned process as in my messing with it one of the tubes came off and water once again went *everywhere*. But hey I'm learning a lot through these mistakes. My cats think its great. They had puddles to play in.
