How does Kent Black Water Expert affect water?
Does it lower KH, affect pH?

My kh is now at 2.24 d/kh this is with 1 1/2 tablespoons of Crushed Coral added to canister filter. (this is up from the 1.12 in the tap water.) Gh is 3.36 d/gh (up also from 1.12 in tap).
pH is 7.6 at the moment (tap is 7.0 today).

I am getting ready to add CO2 in the next few days, and I know that this will affect the pH. I am aiming for at least 3 d/kh and a pH of 6.6-6.8.

It's very like peatwater extract. Lots of chelating molecules. A little softening effect, noticeable only in pretty soft water.
