I heard this and was shocked at first, but then I calmed down. Ïn a LFS around here I was commenting how my tank ph stands around 8 always (actually, 7.8 as my new more precise test revealed yecterday) and the clerk told me they used to maintain the ph of their discus tank using small doses of muriatic (clorhidric) acid. This sounds a little too drastic to me, and would like to hear opinions about it.
In another store, I was told to use apple vinegar, and the owner claimed it would not start swinging the ph, instead it will remain stable.
I've always been against changing the pH using chemichal products, but this idea has somehow digged into my head.
Opinions?
