Im planning on a 75 gallon tank. At this point I think I want to go with African Cichlids. However, since this is my 1st tank, I think Ill want to go with a plain old common community tank first, then once Ive gotten my gills wet, Ill move to africans (Ill move the other fish somewhere else).
Heres the question, I know that Africans need a high pH, and a good way to get the ph up is by using crushed coral for a substrate. However, what if I want a dark substrate? Would placing the crushed coral elsewhere (sump) instead of using it as a substrate work just as well in raising the pH?
