I have been checking out a european site on ideas for backgrounds, and one of them caught my interest.
You carve a background out of styrofoam and then paint on a layer of concrete and let it dry. It looks pretty cool, the only thing is that the concrete contains limestone (I think? ) and raises the pH of the tank a decent amount.
Can anyone affirm this pH raise, and if so, by how much? I looked into the pH range tolerances of my fish, and they look like they could handle an increase from 7 to about 8. Anything above 8 would be pushing it...
Inhabitants are:
1 x Tiger Oscar
2 x Gold Gouramis
3 x Clown Loaches
Thanks
